I would like the list of trust ranked from highest to lowest agency spend, as number 1 being
the highest total agency spend.
I would also like to request a full list of trusts, ranked based on bank spend, as a percentage
of gross pay, for Q1 2018/19.

Review rights
If you consider that your request for information has not been properly handled or if you are
otherwise dissatisfied with the outcome of your request, you can try to resolve this informally
with the person who dealt with your request. If you remain dissatisfied, you may seek an
internal review within NHS Improvement of the issue or the decision. A senior member of
NHS Improvement’s staff, who has not previously been involved with your request, will
undertake that review.
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of any internal review, you may complain to the
Information Commissioner for a decision on whether your request for information has been
dealt with in accordance with the FOI Act.
A request for an internal review should be submitted in writing to FOI Request Reviews,
