Dear Ms Andrews

Thank you for your request for information from Airedale NHS Foundation Trust which was received on 05/08/2019. Your request has been given the Reference Number ANHST REF 4375.

We will now proceed to process the request. The deadline date for issuing you with a full response is 03/09/2019 . We will endeavour to respond to you in advance of this date and we will contact you if we envisage delays or if we need more information from you.

Please note that under the Freedom of Information Act, some information can be subject to exemptions, which means that the Trust does not have to provide the information requested. Some exemptions are “absolute” such as personal information and some only apply where the public interest in maintaining the exemption, outweighs that of providing the information.

In some cases, where identifying, retrieving and processing the requested information requires more time than the “appropriate cost limit” of two and half days work, we may refuse the request, or we can charge a fee. If the latter is the case, I will let you know and a Fees Notice will be issued to you. If you still wish to receive the information, you will need to pay the fee before we proceed with your request. We will also offer assistance and advise you if, by modifying your request, we could provide you with some non-exempt or free of charge information.

Please contact me, quoting the Reference Number above, with any questions you might have about your request.

With kind regards

Dear Deborah Cocker,

Thank you for providing the above information.

Could I please ask that you also include the total hours supplied by temporary agency staff to your trust for the listed categories?

Yours sincerely,

Rhiannon Andrews

Deborah Cocker,

Dear Rhiannon
Our Finance and HR Resource Workforce Resource teams both responded that they didn't hold a record of the detail of the hours worked by staff roles as per your request.

I'm sorry if that makes our information less useful to you.
