Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to clarify/amend a part of my information
request,Section 1.2, with regards payscale information.

This part of my original request stated:

":- Hourly Pay scales/rates with regards agency/temporary social
care/social worker staff.

1.2) A list of each Vendor you use and copies of hourly
pay-scales/rates you hold for each Vendor. Whether or not you use
each Vendor via a Managed Service Provider framework. Please ensure
any provided pay-scale information provided explains how many years
of experience is required to be applicable to any specific hourly
rate."

Please also add after the word 'framework':

If you do you use a Managed Service Provider please also provide a
copy of the pay-scales/rates that are used by the Managed Service
Provider to manage all these Vendors.

Therefore section 1.2 should now read thus:

1.2)A list of each Vendor you use and copies of hourly
pay-scales/rates you hold for each Vendor. Whether or not you use
each Vendor via a Managed Service Provider framework. If you do you
use a Managed Service Provider please also provide a copy of the
pay-scales/rates that are used by the Managed Service Provider to
manage all these Vendors. Please ensure any provided pay-scale
information provided explains how many years of experience is
required to be applicable to any specific hourly rate.

Yours sincerely,

Eric Blair
