Dear Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust,

I would like to request information in relation to Agency spend for
Administrative Support staff over the past two years and which
recruitment agencies this spend was with.

In addition I would like information regarding any "Preferred

decreased spending in this area, including Agency Admin Support staff.
