Temporary Staffing Processes
Dear Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust,
I am researching temporary staffing processes within the NHS. Please provide the following information:
1) Do you have a master vendor (MV) arrangement in place for the supply of medical locums? If so please state the name of the provider used (Medacs, Holt, A&E Agency etc.)
2) Please state the utilisation rate that has been achieved through the master vendor in the last 12 months. This is the total value of locum spend supplied by the master vendor itself in the last 12 months as a percentage of total locum spend in the same period.
3) Does the trust use a direct engagement model to engage locum staff? If so please state the name of the company used (Liaison PwC, 247 Time, Brookson, HB Retinue, Medacs etc.)?
4) Do you run a weekly payroll for medical bank?
5) Does the trust use rostering software (Allocate, Smart etc.)? If so please state the name of the company used, and the total amount that the trust has spent on rostering in 2014/15.
Please provide all subsequent information split by the following staffing categories. Please include all spend outside of the specified categories as “other”.

- Other
6) Pease state the trusts expenditure on agency staff in 2014/15 split by the above staff categories.
7) Please state the total spent on internal bank staff in 2014/15, split by the above staff categories. This is the total paid to workers completing shifts via the trust bank, excluding any costs to 3rd parties. Please do not include any spend on outsourced bank staff.
8) Please state the total number of staff signed up to the trust’s internal bank, split by the above categories.
9) Of the above figure, please state the total number of staff signed up to the bank who also work as substantive staff at the trust. I.e. Staff that hold substantive contracts but have also completed shifts via the internal bank.
10) Does the trust outsource the supply of any bank staff to third parties such as NHS Professionals, Bank Partners, etc.? If so please specify the name of the company used and the staffing categories supplied by the 3rd party.
11) Does the trust use any third party tech solutions to manage internal bank staff (de Poel, HB Retinue, Liaison, Holt, 247 Time etc.)? If so please specify the name of the company used and the staffing categories managed through the tech solution.
