Dear Lianne Garnett

 

Request for Information

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information Act (FOI) request, which was
received by University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust on 26 October and
acknowledged on 2 November 2023.  For information, the University
Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust is one of the largest and busiest NHS
teaching Trusts in the country. We have nearly 17,000 staff working across
our three hospitals, the Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital and
Leicester General Hospital, providing 180 NHS services to the residents of
Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, and beyond. During 2020/21 we had
more than 1.2 million patient visits and provided specialised care for one
million patients, personalised to their needs.

 

Following consultation with colleagues from the Directorate for Finance &
Procurement, and Estates and Facilities, I confirm that the University
Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust holds information covered by your FOI
request.   In your Freedom of Information Act request, you asked for the
following information and the Trust’s response is provided following each
section of your request below:-  

 

Could you please provide the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act:

 

1.            The total agency spend for the last 12 months on temporary
staffing on the RM6160 and RM6277 frameworks Lot 6 (Estates, Facilities
Management and Ancillary Staff) and a breakdown of the split between
Admin/Clerical and Facilities/Works and Estates.          

 

For  the financial year 2022/23

 

2AN - Level 2 Account Name (Multiple Items)
9CCC - Level 9 Cost Centre
Code (Multiple Items)
Row Labels Sum of Forecast Outturn
Agency 2,757,797
A & C Agency 52,499
Agency Consultant 42,997
Agency Nurse Unqualified
Catering - Agency 402,748
Cleaning Agency 1,151,201
Contract Staffing 119,178
Maint & Works Agency 120,319
Porters - Agency 530,699
Reception - Agency
Security Agency 256,058
Senior Managers - Agency 46,589
Switchboard - Agency 35,511
Grand Total 2,757,797

 

We are unable to provide a breakdown of the split between Admin/Clerical
and Facilities/Works and Estates.   To collate this data, we would have to
ask individual managers to review invoices and confirm whether the agency
worker was admin or front line.  We have an average of 285 temporary
staff, and we would need to go through 3,420 invoices. If each invoice
took us 5 minutes, that would mean spending 285 hours to pull this
information and significantly exceed the 18 hour ‘appropriate limit’
provided for under FOI.  Accordingly, and in reliance upon section 12 of
the FOI Act, the Trust will not be progressing this section of your
request any further.  It may be that if you were able to refine your
request, there might be information which could be provided to you within
the 18-hour ‘appropriate limit’.

 

2.            The name and contact details for the Manager of The
Facilities and Estates department?    
                                                                                                     

The Director of Estates, Facilities and Sustainability is Michael
Simpson   [2][email address]

 

I hope that this response is helpful and provides you with the information
requested (where available). If you require any further assistance please
do not hesitate to contact me.  If you are dissatisfied with the Trust’s
response, you can contact the Director of Corporate and Legal Affairs
([3][email address]) to request a copy of UHL’s Freedom of
Information Act complaints procedure.

 

We must advise you that where we have provided information we have done so
subject to the provisions of the Re-use of Public Sector Information
Regulations 2015.  Accordingly you must not re-use this information
without having the consent of the Trust.  Where the Trust is prepared to
provide its consent then it may levy a charge for doing so. Should you
wish to re-use documents provided then you must make your request in
writing stating your name and your address for correspondence together
with the document that you wish to re-use and the purpose for which the
information is to be re-used.

 

In the event that you remain dissatisfied with the way in which the Trust
has handled any complaint that you may wish to make, we would advise you
of your right to complain to the Information Commissioner at the
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Tel: 0303 123 1113, website: [4]www.ico.org.uk
