Dear Sir,

Further to your recent request to North Wales Fire and Rescue Service
(NWFRS) regarding overtime and sickness, please see below:

However, the data on periods when watches operated below minimum crewing
levels are not recorded in our Human Resources and Payroll system. To
compile this information, it would be necessary to manually
cross-reference data from multiple systems.

Given the significant time and resources required to retrieve and collate
this fragmented information, we are unable to fulfil this part of your
