Annual temporary staff spend by individual school

D Boucher made this Freedom of Information request to Bexley Borough Council

Waiting for an internal review by Bexley Borough Council of their handling of this request.

From: D Boucher

5 March 2010

Dear Bexley Borough Council,

I am interested in the amounts paid by each school in Bexley 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.

Notes:
1. I would like the information in electronic format. This should
avoid any printing cost issues.
2. In order to avoid your having to collate information from
peripheral systems, I am willing to accept information only from
your main system (I would like you to advise which system this is).
By main system I mean the system that handles the largest part of
the department's expenditure. If supplier payments are
made through separate systems, then I would like you to choose the
main system for each.
3. The information I require for each school is: School Name;
Supplier name and total amount paid.
4. I would like the information to cover the year 2008/9. I will
accept 2007/8 figures if this is not possible.

Yours faithfully,

D Boucher

Dear Bexley Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Bexley Borough
Council's handling of my FOI request 'Annual temporary staff spend
by individual school'.

I have requested a breakdown by school. I would assume that
yearly financial accounting takes place, collating all information
from schools relating to CFR E26 - Supply Teacher spend with
agencies, and that a system somewhere holds this information.

If you cannot provide this information, can you please provide me
with more specific details of who can, and not just the DCSF
website. I have had no issues obtianing this information from other
Local Authorities.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,

D Boucher
