Dear Winrow Phillip,

I have been prompted to make you aware that this request has now exceeded the standard turn around time that by law should be adhered to and to remind you that it is still outstanding.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Roberts,

Thank you for your email.

The Trust sent you a response for clarification on 22nd May 2014, which is at the bottom of this email. Within the email it states that the request will be out on hold until a response is received from you.

The Trust has still not received a response from the clarification sent and therefore we have not exceeded the 20 working day turn around.

If you can response to the clarification asked, the Trust will response within the 7 working days left of this request.

If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards

Dear Winrow Phillip,

My apologies, I must have over looked this. If possible we are looking to find out the spend for locum agency staff, not permanent staff.

Yours sincerely,

Elliot Roberts

Dear Mr Roberts,

Sorry I think I didn’t word the clarification right.

Would you like Locum agency staff spend for the Trust or Locum agency staff spend within Biomedical, as you say within that job group?
