Contingency workers

The request was successful.

Dear Scottish Water,

Can you provide the number of contingency workers serving at Scottish Water broken down by the number of years service of these workers. E.g. < 1 year - > 10 years. I would not expect a break of up to 1 month to count as a break in service but can you please confirm this is the case.

Yours faithfully,

Amy Armstrong
