We refer to your email of 22 July 2020

Your request
You made the following request:
“Can you please provide me with a full list of trusts, ranked based on their agency spend as
a percentage of gross pay, for Q3 2019/20 and Q4 19/20. I would like the list of trusts ranked
lowest to highest based on their performance, with 1 representing the lowest agency as % of
gross pay.
If possible, could i also request a full list of trusts, ranked based on bank spend as a
percentage of gross pay, for Q3 2019/20 and Q4 19/20. I would like the list of trusts ranked
from highest to lowest based on their performance, with 1 representing the highest bank as
% of gross pay”

NHS Improvement’s staff, who has not previously been involved with your request, will
undertake that review.
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of any internal review, you may complain to the
Information Commissioner for a decision on whether your request for information has been
dealt with in accordance with the FOI Act.
A request for an internal review should be submitted in writing to FOI Request Reviews,
