Resident Medical Officers
Dear FOI team,
I am writing to you to ask for information under FOI Act 2000 relating to the use of Resident Medical Officers [RMOs] also referred to as Resident Doctors and/or Senior House Officers [SHOs] supplied by agencies to your trust.
Please provide the following information:
-----------
-Does the Trust use or has the Trust ever used RMOs supplied by agencies?
-If so, how many are being used currently? If you can’t answer this, could you please tell us how many contracted hours do RMOs provide for the trust per month or per year?
-How many hours would an RMO be working in any given week and any given month? What is their shift pattern?
-What are the departments within the trust where RMOs work (for example orthopaedic, mental health, general medicine, surgery etc).
-How much does the trust pay to NES Healthcare Ltd (or any other NES company within NES Holdings (UK) Limited group) per hour per RMO? Please ideally break this down by grade and if it’s not possible tell us the average rate.
-If the trust receives RMOs from agencies other than NES Healthcare Ltd please tell us the names of those agencies and rates paid to each per RMO per hour.
-What was the Trust's total spend on RMOs in 2020, 2021 and 2022? Please break this down by agencies suppling RMOs.
-----------

If you are encountering practical difficulties with complying with this request, please contact me as soon as possible (in line with your section 16 duty to advise and assist requesters) so that we can discuss the matter and if necessary I can modify the request.
Please can you acknowledge receipt of this request.
Many thanks for your assistance
