Gloucestershire Health and Care FOI Team,
We are writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request for information on your health visiting teams. Please ignore any previous/pending FOI requests FOI/773..
As you may recall, Dr. Gabriella Conti, Professor at the Department of Economics, University College London, and our team are working to evaluate the impact of health visiting on health outcomes in England. You have already provided us with highly valuable information on your health visiting teams, and we are very grateful for your cooperation and service. We have released some of our findings in a briefing note https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10132710/., and we would like to note that Professor Conti’s research has sparked much interest from policy makers and chief nurses, having been cited in the Westminster Hall Debate on maternal mental health led by Sarah Olney MP, having recently presented at the APPG from Conception to Age 2 meeting on “Health Visitors, Midwives and Family Hubs” chaired by Tim Loughton MP, as well as having been well received by Andrea Leadsom’s Early years healthy development review team, all amongst also being featured across several media outlets like a BBC radio programme and news outlets such as the Guardian. Given the keen policy relevant interest and important nature of our work, we find it imperative to ensure that our data collection process is as robust and complete as is practically possible. Consequently, we have learned throughout our FOI requests that we have missed out certain pay-bands in previous FOI requests, the exclusion of which would skew our statistical and econometric analyses. Thus, we are currently asking if you could kindly “fill in the gaps”.
We have attached a pre-filled template with information previously received as highlighted in green. from Gloucestershire, along with missing information indicated by the blanks as well as highlighted in yellow. We are writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request if you could provide information for the missing cells in the attached template regarding your health visiting teams for Gloucestershire, on the 1st of February 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, based on the following questions:
1. How many FTE health visitors were employed in your health visiting teams? Both with and without caseload.. Please provide this information for the missing pay-bands left in the template as blank and highlighted in yellow.
2. How many FTE clinical staff who are NOT coded as health visitors. were employed in your health visiting teams? Both with and without caseload.. Please provide this information for the missing pay-bands left in the template as blank and highlighted in yellow.
3. How many FTE health visitors only with caseload were employed in your health visiting teams? Please provide this information for the missing pay-bands left in the template as blank and highlighted in yellow.
4. How many FTE clinical staff who are NOT coded as health visitors. only with caseload were employed in your health visiting teams? Please provide this information for the missing pay-bands left in the template as blank and highlighted in yellow.
5. What was the total number of children under 5 years of age that your health visiting teams were responsible for? In case a certain pay-band has zero FTE i.e., no staff under that pay-band., we ask if you could please input zero “0”. in the template.
_________________________________________________________________________________

If you are able to, please could you provide a response to the below questions?
• What service does child autism diagnosis and support fall under within this trust ie CAMHS, Learning Disability, Neurodevelopmental, etc.? • What are the wait times for children receiving an assessment from point of referral? • What is the time between children receiving a diagnosis and an EHCP in place, if applicable? • What service are children passed to when reaching the age of 18?
