Good morning Bleddyn,
Please could you clarify the below points of your request – our queries
are in red;
1. How many nurses and midwives were on gardening leave in 2015-16,
2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20?
Please can you define the term “gardening leave”.
If “gardening leave” refers to staff who were suspended from duty on full
pay - can you please confirm if you require a headcount of staff who had
any period of paid suspension in the calendar year.
2. How many nurses and midwives have been referred to the Nursing and
Midwifery Council in the above years?
3. How many nurses and midwives have been on report or undergone
disciplinary action in the above years?
4. How many babies were delivered by midwives who were on report or
undergoing disciplinary action in the above years?
Please can you define the term “on report”.
We will hold your request until we receive a response from you.
Kind regards

Dear FOIA Requests (ABM ULHB),
Thank you for your email and I apologise for the delay in my reply. By "gardening leave" I mean an employee's suspension from work on full pay for the duration of a notice period. By "on report" I mean subject to a complaint.
I hope this helps and all the best,
Bleddyn ap Dafydd
Dear Bleddyn,
Thanks for the clarification. We will resume the request.
