Bank Staff Spend

The request was partially successful.

Dear North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust,
I am researching the NHS bank staffing market. Please provide the following:

1) The total amount spent on bank staff in 2013/14.

2) A breakdown of the spend between:
• Nursing & HCA’s
• Admin & Estates
• Medical & Dental
• AHP’s
• Ambulance
• Others
If you cannot provide a split, please indicate which staffing categories the trust’s bank supports.

3) Do you provide staff to others through a bank, or is it exclusively for the trust’s own workforce requirements?

4) Do you use any external/3rd parties to manage your bank workforce?

5) If so, please provide the name of the provider and contract start and end dates.

Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Yours faithfully,

J Taylor

Dear Mr Taylor

 

I refer to your FOI request in connection with the above and apologise for
the delay in providing this response.  I can now inform you of the
following:-

 

·         Although the Trust does use Bank Staff we do not separately
record expenditure information in a way that can be readily extracted.

·          Pay for Bank Staff is charged against the existing pay budgets
for our Patient Transport Service, Paramedic Emergency Service and
Emergency Operations Control as appropriate.

·         Bank Staff are used exclusively for the Trust’s own workforce
requirements.

·         Bank Staff are directly managed by the Trust.

 

I do hope that this response is of assistance to you and should you
require anything further please contact me direct and I will endeavour to
assist you.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Ian Campbell

DP and FOI Coordinator
