Dear Ms Vincent   

Thank you for your request for information submitted under the Freedom of
Information Act.  We can confirm that Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS
Foundation Trust does hold some of the information requested.

 

Request:

 

Please can you provide details of

 

1) The number of Consultants currently employed within your trust

 

2) The number of Consultants currently employed within your trust who have
actively opted out of non-emergency weekend working.

 

Trust Response 

 

1) 300

 

2) The Trust advises that to access and extract this information would
require a manual exercise which would take over the 2.5 day limit.  The
appropriate limit is specified in regulations and is set at £450 for a NHS
Foundation Trust.  The appropriate limit represents the estimated cost of
one person spending two and a half days in determining whether the Trust
holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the
information.  Consequently, the Trust is not obliged by the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 to respond to your request (see section 12(1)).

 

 

Kind regards,

Freedom of Information Group
