Dear D Boucher,

Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000

Thank you for your recent request. We apologise for the slight delay you
have experienced in receiving our full response.

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Lewisham to third
parties in relation to temporary staffing cover. My hope is to receive an
electronic breakdown of amounts paid through the department's purchase
ledger by school.
We do not hold this information. This is as any invoices from third
parties would be paid by the Borough's schools themselves from their own
local bank accounts. The Council only collects totals from the schools at
the end of the year, rather than individual payments to suppliers.
Individual schools in the Borough would hold any relevant information.
Contact details for schools can be accessed via the following link to our
public website:

We hope you will find this information helpful.

You have a right of appeal against this response. If you wish to appeal
you must do so in writing to the Corporate Information Manager at the
following address:

London Borough of Lewisham

Town Hall, Catford Road
