Dear Dr Eades

 

We are writing further to your e-mail dated 31 July 2015 requesting
information about weekend working opt-outs.

 

The questions you raised along with their answers can be found below:

 

1.     How many substantive staff members are employed by the Trust?  As
of 31 July 2015, the East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS)
employs a total of 3010 permanent staff.

 

2.     How many substantive staff members employed by the Trust have opted
out of weekend work?  We do not have a specific mechanism in place for
staff to opt out of weekend work.  Staff would achieve this through the
submission and approval of a flexi-working request which is different to
an “opt-out”.  The only “opt-out” mechanism that EMAS utilise is for staff
to opt-out of the European Working Time Directive whereby opting out means
they agree to work more than an average of 48 hours per week over a 17
week period.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Matthew Williams
