Further to our previous e-mail.
I am seeking clarification in respect of your FOI request in order that the Trust can provide meaningful information.
Could you please provide further information and clarification regarding your questions 3, 4 & 5. The Trust does use the services of third party providers, such as St John Ambulance and we also use recruitment agencies for temporary clinical staff. Or if you are requesting information regarding hospital insourcing and outsourcing, as an ambulance trust we would not hold this information.
Please note there are parts of question 1 and all of question 2 that are not applicable to the Trust.
I have stopped the clock on your request until this information is received.
Kind regards
