Dear Information Governance Department,

Thanks for your response.

Please can you explain why you cannot split the information in to categories, as originally requested?

Other NHS trusts have been able to comply with this aspect of the request.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Fifield

Dear Freedom of Information,
Apologies for the double email, but please can you clarify how many have received three doses? In the response, you say '58%' but further answers are exact numbers, as requested.

Yours sincerely,

Jack Fifield

Dear Bolton NHS Foundation Trust,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Bolton NHS Foundation Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Numbers of vaccinated and unvaccinated staff'.

The response states that you cannot break up the numbers (total staff, vaccinated 3 dose, vaccinated 2 dose, vaccinated 1 dose, etc.) in to staff categories but does not explain why. I have had multiple other NHS trusts that have been able to provide me this information. Please provide this information, and in spreadsheet form as originally requested.

Categories that other NHS trusts have used are:

Add Prof Scientific and Technic
Additional Clinical Services
Administrative & Clerical
Allied Health Professionals
Estates & Ancillary
Healthcare Scientists
Medical & Dental
Nursing & Midwifery Registered
Students
