Bank Staff Spend

The request was successful.

Dear South West London and St George’s Mental Health 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

Hughes, John, South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust
