Theatre Staff

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust,

Please can you confirm how many temporary theatre staff of the below specialisms, you have working on an agency basis at the time of this request (19th June 2015).
Can you please break this information down by specialism:
• ODP (Operating Department Practitioners)
• Theatre Nurse
• Scrub Nurse
• Recovery Nurse

To provide additional clarity on my request, ‘temporary theatre staff’ is to mean all persons who are theatre staff and are not on permanent contracts of employment with the Trust, but are supplied via employment agencies.

Yours faithfully,

Sally Smith
