Off framework Nursing Supply
Dear Airedale NHS Foundation Trust,
Please could you provide me with information on the following:
Trust off framework spend in relation to the Nursing staff group only for the period of April 2022 through to March 2023?
Number of off framework hours filled during the same period?
List of off framework suppliers that you are engaged with?
Highest paid off framework hourly charge rate for this period and the grade/specialty confirmed?
Average hourly charge rate for this period and the grade/specialty confirmed?
Confirmation of whether your off framework suppliers confirm/book agency staff with the Trust in the same manner as your on framework supply list? For example, do they invoice the Trust directly or do they book via a preferred third party booking portal?
Yours faithfully,
Jane Hickson
Dear Jane Hickson,
Thank you for your request for information from Airedale NHS Foundation Trust. Your request has been given the Reference Number ANHSFT REF 6509.
We will now proceed to process the request. The deadline date for issuing you with a full response is 18/8/2023. We will try to respond to you before 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. In that case you would need to pay the fee before we proceeded with your request, but we will 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
