to the local health & social care market place. It is with this
mind that I hope you can supply the required information for the

Further to our acknowledgement letter of 22 June 2011, I am writing to let
you know we are still in the process of collating the information that you

We can however, answer the following questions at this stage:
Question 1 – Total number of staff directly employed across Hywel Dda
Health Board.
Question 4 – Total spend on direct employment across the Health Board;

I can also confirm that all staff groups outlined in your request work
within Hywel Dda Health Board, with the exception of qualified social

by the relevant County Councils (Pembrokeshire; Ceredigion;

Dear Mr Lewis,
Further to my letter to you dated 14th July 2011.
We are still in the process of collating the data you have requested,
however to answer questions 5 and 6 is proving to be extremely time
consuming with the questions in their current format. This information is
not routinely held and would require the Finance department to go down to
individual invoice level (and would as a result, exceed the 18 hours of
'free' time as outlined in Section 12 of the Act).
Would it be possible for us to offer you the data for the financial year
2010-2011 (i.e. April to March), but without the individual agency names?
This would enable a much speedier response to your request.
Please let me know what you think.
Kind regards
Julie
