Freedom of Information request Staff Levels

Dear Sir/Madam I am requesting the following information under the Freedom of Information Act. In this request, I would like the statistical information provided for the most recent point in time for which data is held – that may be September 2025, or it may be an earlier month – and then corresponding information provided as of 12 months earlier than the most recent month. So for example, if the most recent available data is for July 2025, then I would like the figures for July 2025, and then separately the corresponding figures as of July 2024. If the most recent available data is current, then I would like the figures for September 2025, and then separately the corresponding figures as of September 2024. 1. Please list the different categories of mental health staff, community health staff and learning disability staff at the Trust (e.g. mental health nurses, community health nurses, psychiatrists etc) 2. Please state the FTE number of staff in each category (as listed in response to question 1) as per the Trust’s full staff establishment (i.e. the total FTE number of positions in each category if there were zero vacancies) 3. Please state the FTE number of staff in each category (as listed in response to question 1) that are currently working for the Trust on any basis (i.e. including all forms of direct and indirect arrangement in each category, in FTE terms) 4. Please state the FTE number of staff in each category (as listed in response to question 1) that are currently directly employed by the Trust (i.e. how many of the Trust’s own staff are currently employed in each category, in FTE terms, therefore excluding agency, bank and locum staff) 5. Please state the FTE number of staff in each category (as listed in response to question 1) that are currently working for the Trust under arrangements other than direct employment by the Trust (i.e. how many agency, bank, locum etc staff are currently employed in each category, in FTE terms) To give an example of how to interpret questions 1-5: let’s say the Trust has a total of 12 FTE psychiatrist posts in its full establishment, of which it has filled 11.5 FTE posts. Of these 11.5 FTE posts, 7 FTE are directly employed by the trust, 1.5 FTE are bank and 3 FTE are locum. In this scenario, when it comes to the staff category of psychiatrists, the Trust’s response to question 2 would be 12 FTE, question 3 would be 11.5 FTE, question 4 would be 7 FTE, and question 5 would be 4.5 FTE. 6. Please list the different subcategories of mental health nursing staff at the Trust (e.g. CAMHS nurse, community mental health nurse) 7. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 6) as per the Trust’s full staff establishment (i.e. the total FTE number of positions in each subcategory if there were zero vacancies) 8. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 6) that are currently working for the Trust on any basis (i.e. including all forms of direct and indirect arrangement in each subcategory, in FTE terms) 9. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 6) that are currently directly employed by the Trust (i.e. how many of the Trust’s own staff are currently employed in each subcategory, in FTE terms, therefore excluding agency, bank and locum staff) 10. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 6) that are currently working for the Trust under arrangements other than direct employment by the Trust (i.e. how many agency, bank, locum etc staff are currently employed in each subcategory, in FTE terms) 11. Please list the different subcategories of psychiatrists at the Trust (e.g. general psychiatrist, old age psychiatrist, intellectual disability psychiatrist) 12. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 11) as per the Trust’s full staff establishment (i.e. the total FTE number of positions in each subcategory if there were zero vacancies) 13. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 11) that are currently working for the Trust on any basis (i.e. including all forms of direct and indirect arrangement in each subcategory, in FTE terms) 14.

Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 11) that are currently working for the Trust under arrangements other than direct employment by the Trust (i.e. how many agency, bank, locum etc staff are currently employed in each subcategory, in FTE terms) 16. Please list the different subcategories of psychologists and psychotherapists at the Trust (e.g. counselling psychologist, child and adolescent psychotherapist, health psychologist) 17.

Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 16) that are currently directly employed by the Trust (i.e. how many of the Trust’s own staff are currently employed in each subcategory, in FTE terms, therefore excluding agency, bank and locum staff) 20. Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 16) that are currently working for the Trust under arrangements other than direct employment by the Trust (i.e. how many agency, bank, locum etc staff are currently employed in each subcategory, in FTE terms) 21. Please list the different subcategories of therapists at the Trust whose roles relate to mental health and/or learning disabilities (e.g. speech and language therapist, occupational therapist, music therapist), excluding those therapists already covered in questions 16-20 22.

Please state the FTE number of staff in each subcategory (as listed in response to question 21) that are currently working for the Trust under arrangements other than direct employment by the Trust (i.e. how many agency, bank, locum etc staff are currently employed in each subcategory, in FTE terms) This request should not be combined with any other request for section 12 purposes. If any individual question would exceed the section 12 cost limit, please mark that question as “information not held” and respond to the remainder of the request (NB: this is not the same as asking the Trust to “run the clock” up to the section 12 cost limit).
