Dear Mr Charles

 

Further to your recent request made under the Freedom of Information Act
2000, I have been asked to seek clarification in order that the council is
able locate the information requested.

 

Your request was for:  

 

Please could you provide me with a breakdown of the total agency
recruitment spend for each department across the council

 

Can you advise the timescale your request relates to?  For example do you
want information relating to the most recent financial year (2019/20).

 

Also, can you confirm whether you want the council’s spend on agency
staff, as opposed to our spend on recruiting agency staff.

 

The Freedom of Information Act requires a copy of information requested to
be provided within 20 working days of receipt of the request.  However,
under section 1(3) of the Act, where a public authority –

 

(a)  reasonably requires further information in order to identify and
locate the information requested, and

 

(b) has informed the applicant of that requirement

 

the authority is not required to comply with the request until that
further information is provided.

 

I look forward to hearing further from you.

 

Yours sincerely
