Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find our response below.
– The total amount spent by the Trust on bank and agency doctors in each of the last 5 financial years including 2023/24 so far.
– The total amount spent by the Trust on bank and agency nurses in each of the last 5 financial years including 2023/24 so far
– The largest amount spent by the Trust on a single agency nurse shift in 2023/2
– The largest amount spent by the Trust on a single agency doctor’s shift in 2023/24
We cannot do 2020/21 and earlier as we were different organisations and different financial systems.
We cannot identify largest spent on a single agency shift as we have suppliers that invoice by shift/ week/ month or do consolidated invoices, often for a
mixture of staff types.
