Dear Dumfries and Galloway NHS Board,

Many thanks for the information provided. Some of the information was missing:

• How many F1 Doctors provided by recruitment agencies were used in the period 01.04.20 – 31.03.21 and what was the average hourly charge rate to the trust?
The average hourly charge rate is missing.
In addition, some of the data provided does not add up and couldn't be correct. If the average tenure of an F1 doctor is 162 days as stated and 5 doctors were used - the total spend could not be £25k as stated. Please could you recalculate and provide the correct information.

Yours faithfully,

John Watson
