Dear Sir/Madam
Thank you for your FOI request sent on 31 May 2014. You asked:
I was wondering if you could tell me the number of staff by job title that
have personal secretary working for them (Excluding medical consultants)
in the calender years of 2011,2012,2013 and to-date in 2014. To assist
you further what I mean eg; The CEO has 2 full time Secretaries in each of
these years, The Deputy CEO has 1 full time secretary and also 1 part time
secretary in these years etc.
If these secretaries are employees of the hospital, or from agency, if
from agency please supply name of company that supplies the staff
I can confirm under Section (1)(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act
that The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust does not hold a central
record of information that would enable us to respond to this request. As
an organisation with over 5000 non-medical staff, identifying whether such
information exists would require a manual review of roles, job
descriptions and employment arrangements in every department in the Trust
which would significantly exceed the cost limit specified in Section 12 of
the Act.
However, we do publish a significant amount of information about current
roles and structures on our website. So, under Section 21 of the Act I can
confirm that:
· Information about the senior management structure is available
through our Publication Scheme on our website at
[1]http://www.sath.nhs.uk/Library/Documents...
. This provides information about senior clinicians and managers and their
teams including secretary/PA support.
· A full list of all job roles in the Trust is available from
[2]http://www.sath.nhs.uk/Library/Documents...
In relation to prior years, we have reviewed our publication scheme
archive and have identified one archive version of the above documents
from 2011 which is attached.
Generally such posts will be employed directly by the Trust, although in
exceptional circumstances alternative arrangements may be made such as
through the Trust’s internal employment bank or very occasionally through
external agencies.
Considering specifically the Executive Directors of the Trust:
· There are two part-time secretaries who jointly support the
Chairman, Chief Executive and Non-Executive Directors – same position in
2011, 2012 and 2013
· There is one full time secretary who supports the Finance
Director alongside other mandatory functions, project and committee
support (e.g. Finance Committee) – same position in 2011, 2012 and 2013
· There is one full time secretary who supports the Nurse Director
alongside other mandatory functions, project and committee support (e.g.
Quality & Safety Committee) – same position in 2011, 2012 and 2013
· There is one full time secretary who supports the Workforce
Director and her senior team alongside other mandatory functions, project
and committee support (e.g. Workforce Committee) – same position in 2011,
2012 and 2013
· There is one full time secretary who supports the Medical
Director and his senior team alongside other mandatory functions, project
and committee support (e.g. Clinical Governance Executive) – same position
in 2011, 2012 and 2013
· There is one part time secretary who supports the Director of
Corporate Governance alongside other mandatory functions, project and
committee support (e.g. Audit Committee) – same position in 2011, 2012 and
2013
· There is one full time secretary who supports the Chief
Operating Officer alongside other mandatory functions, project and
committee support (e.g. Hospital Executive Committee) – same position in
2011, 2012 and 2013
· There is one full time secretary who supports the Director of
Business & Enterprise and her senior team and the Communications Director
alongside other mandatory functions, project and committee support (e.g.
Future Configuration of Hospital Services) – reduced from one secretary
each to one shared secretary in 2013
All the current PAs/secretaries to the Directors of the Trust are employed
by the Trust.
Please find attached:
· A briefing which explains your rights to request a review by the
Trust or to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are
not satisfied with the response from the Trust, and an outline of the
Trust’s policy on the Reuse of Public Sector Information, and
· A feedback survey.
Please complete the feedback survey and send it back to the Trust via
email to [3][Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust request email] or by post to Freedom of Information Officer,
The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, Royal Shrewsbury Hospital,
Mytton Oak Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY3 8XQ.
