Dear Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,
For the purpose of this request 'agency nurse' refers to both HCA's
(band 2) and RN's (band 5+) combined. It excludes bank staff. The question is directed at the whole trust.
Please could you provide me with for the following dates, answers separated for each month:
1) 1st February - 29th February 2016
2) 1st March - 31st March 2016
3) 1st April 2016 - 30th April 2016
1) The total number of shifts filled by agency nurses within the
trust for each month.
2) The above answer split into how many were HCA shifts and how
many were RN shifts for each month.
3) The total cost in pounds spent on agency nurses for each month.
4) The total number of 'breaches' for filling a shift with an
agency nurse:
a) Not within November price caps for each month.
b) Off framework for each month.
Yours faithfully,
Mr T Harrison
Dear Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,
In reference to this request, please note that question 4a:
'4) The total number of 'breaches' for filling a shift with an
agency nurse:
a) Not within November price caps for each month. '
--
Should actually be in reference to the latest price cap for each month. So February/March this should be the 1st Feb price cap, and April should be the 1st April price cap.
Yours faithfully,
Mr T Harrison
