Sexual health clinic staff numbers
To whom it may concern,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to request information on the number of staff in the different sexual health/genitourinary medicine clinics run within CDDFT. I would like to please request this information retrospectively over as many past financial years as possible. I would also like to request this information for each such clinic run within the trust separately and with them combined for the trust as a whole. Please provide the following specific information:
- the number of nurses at each level (e.g. the different bands)
- the number of nurses at each level who took long-term leave
- the number of healthcare assistants
- the number of healthcare assistants who took long-term leave
- the number of doctors at each level (e.g. medical student/junior/senior/consultant)
- the number of doctors at each level who took long-term leave
- the number of non-medical staff
- the number of non-medical staff who took long-term leave
- the doctor:patient ratio
- the nurse:patient ratio
Please return this information in a spreadsheet file and give each amount as precisely as practically possible. Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Leo Pritchard

Dear Ms Cook,
Thank you for responding to my request and your help thus far.
Please could you provide the information in the "Answers" PDF file as a spreadsheet file? Doing so will make it easier to examine the numerical information it contains.
Please could you explain the meaning of the numbers in the clinic names in the "Answers" PDF file, for example, 439 and 0506 in "439 Genito-Urinary Medicine - UHND (0506)"?
Please could you clarify if all the trust's community/community hospital sexual health clinics (all of Chester le Street, Peterlee, Consett, etc.) are provided in combination as "439 Community Sexual Health Services (0589)" in the "Answers" PDF file?
Please could you also provide this information for the clinic in Bishop Auckland? I understand that the trust has a sexual health clinic in a hospital in Bishop Auckland. However, as far as I can tell, the information is not provided for this clinic.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Yours sincerely,
Leo Pritchard
Dear Mr Pritchard,
Could you please let me know the Number on the top of your response letter as we have received so many we are not sure which FOI you are querying. We think it may be 07.24.22.

Dear Ms Cook,
The original subject/title of the request in question was "Sexual health clinic staff numbers". The FOI reference was "07.24.22". Thank you very much for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Leo Pritchard
Dear Mr Pritchard.
Please see the response below for the answers to your queries.
• The 439 at the start is the Trusts VPD which is the unique identifier used for Trusts within the NHS. The numbers at the end are the Cost Centre numbers that are linked to the areas within the Trust.
• The figures provided for the Cost Centres will include all the relevant clinics however we cannot provide a further breakdown for each individual clinic as we do not hold that information.
• The Cost Centres will cover the Bishop Auckland clinic, but as mentioned above, we cannot provide specific information at a clinic level.
I have copied in the work version as requested.
Many thanks
