Grampian Staffing/ Vacancies for VQ4 Technicians

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Scottish Ambulance Service should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Scottish Ambulance Service,

This request is for GRAMPIAN locality, Aberdeen City & Shire to be exact.

I would be grateful if you could confirm the below,

• Please confirm how much technician staff are due to leave the service such as retirement, dismissal and/or promotion to registered paramedics or leaving the service entirely up untill November 2024.

I appreciate that this is a projection but I am looking for numbers of staff who are on a confirmed "wind down" for retirement and/or have submitted their resignation and if possible please confirm the ambulance station.

• Please confirm staffing levels for Aberdeen City & Shire stations for technicians, trainee and qualified and confirm if staffing level is sufficient within force policy/ recommendation.

• Please confirm if there is intention to replace these staff.

Yours faithfully,

James W Pirie

Dear SAS FOI,

Could you please clarify what job(s) relate to the 5.3 vacancies and can you confirm exactly what positions are being back filled and what courses these are?

The request was also for aberdeenshire but if you could provide the above I would be more than satisfied with this and no longer require shire data.

Yours sincerely,

James Pirie
