Dear Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust,

Under the Freedom Of Information Act, I would like to request data on the number of Health Practitioners that have returned to the NHS under your Foundation Trust to support it during COVID-19, including retired practitioners who have returned to service and those who have rejoined the NHS.

Yours faithfully,

RE: Freedom of Information Acknowledgement Ref code FOI
 
The Trust is currently facing an increase in staff workload and resource
redeployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  With the added pressures on
the NHS, the Trust is unlikely to have the capacity to obtain the
information you have requested. The Information Commissioners Office has
issued guidance [1]here.
 
As a result of this, we are requesting that you consider the need for this
information at this time.  Wherever possible, we would ask you to work
with us and withdraw the request and resubmit once the pandemic is over.
 
Where your request is required urgently we will endeavour to get the
information (in part or in whole) to you as soon as we can.
 
Your patience at this time is appreciated
