FOI Request

I am a senior journalist at the BBC, working with our health editor, Hugh Pym. We are doing some work on the NHS workforce and are requesting information from every NHS Hospital Trust in England. I want to place a Freedom of Information request with your hospital – Q1: Please can you confirm what percentage of your wage bill is spent on a. Agency staff? b. Bank staff? Q2: What does the answer to Q1 a. equate to in Pounds Sterling £.? Q3: What percentage of all your medical and clinical patient facing shifts are filled with staff that are paid above the ‘break glass’ ceiling rate above the agency rules pay cap.?
