Direct Engagement

The request was successful.

Dear Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information regarding Staffing:

1. What framework agreement/s do you use for the supply of Allied Health Professionals (AHP) and Medical Locums? E.g. HTE , CCS
2. Does your organisation use a Direct Engagement scheme?
3. If so, who provides it?
4. When did you start using Direct Engagement?
5. What has been your total agency staffing spend since you started using the scheme? If this cannot be easily calculated, what has been the total agency staffing spend in the last financial year?
6. How much has been paid to the third party direct engagement facilitator so far?

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
If you can identify any ways that my request could be refined, please provide further advice and assistance to indicate this.
If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to clarify what I am asking for.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.

Best wishes,

Benjamin Fallon
