Dear Mr Oughton,

FOI ref: 2017/1823

Further to your email below, I can now respond to your request dated 19^th
December 2017.

Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted within Pennine
Care NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) to locate the requested information
and I can confirm that some of the information requested is held by the
Trust.

1. How many full time and part time fully-qualified nurses did you have
each financial year starting 2015/2016 to the current figure?

Headcount 2015/16 2016/17 Current
Part Full Part Full Part
Full Time Time Time Time Time Time
Qualified
Nurses 1336 886 1226 727 1237 745

2. And How many full-time and part time junior doctors did you have each
financial year starting 2015/2016 to the current figure?

Information not held.

PCFT do not employ Junior Doctors. They are employed by Pennine Acute
Trust; we simply act as a host organisation for them. Therefore this
information would be held by the Acute Trust.

However, we can provide the total number of junior doctors on rotation at
today’s date (27/12/17) with Pennine Care = 68.
