Dear Sir,

In response to your recent request please find attached an Excel Workbook
that details the majority of the information you have requested. For ease
of reference the tabs along the bottom of the workbook state which
requests the information relates to.

In relation to the requests numbered 8 and 9 – Stevenage Homes does not
have a specific budget for agency workers. Agency workers are used to
fill temporary skills shortages such as during a time of sickness or what
we term a ‘transitional vacancy’ which is the time between a permanent
individual leaves and a new permanent recruit is employed. Temporary
workers are also used where there is a temporary increase in workload. No
designated budget is in place as our target is always to have as low spend
on agency workers as possible.

Unfortunately, the information we hold to reply fully to questions 1,5,7,
11 is considered to be commercially sensitive and therefore exempt from
disclosure under Section 43 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. We
also consider that individuals pay is personal information protected under
the Data Protection Act 1998 and therefore exempt from disclosure under
Section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act.

We have applied a prejudice test and considered the wider public interest
in disclosure and conclude that the applied exemptions are appropriate.

Regards,

Lizee
