Dear Freedom of Info UHBW,

Thank you for providing me with some of the information.

I appreciate the Trust uses Geometric Results Inc as a neutral vendor for the supply of agency nurses but we would still require the name of those nursing agencies supplying to the Trust via Geometric Results.

Also please provide a list of agencies who have supplied nursing staff directly to the Trust without going via Geometric Results from November 2020 to present.

Yours sincerely,

Joseph
