Re anon 8.51am - here's a typical FOI we sent out (some later ones excluded the final question):

Hello

Can you tell me:

• How many staff does your CCG employ? If possible, I would like this expressed both in terms of full time equivalent and overall headcount. If you have a figure for known vacancies, can you tell me that as well, please?

• Can you provide me with a breakdown of your CCG’s workforce by pay banding? Please include very senior managers and any people not employed on Agenda for Change terms and conditions.

These two questions are the priorities. However, if the information is there, can you also tell me:

• Can you also tell me how the new staff were appointed? For instance were they recruited through the transition job matching process, or was it done through open competition?

If that last question adds too much complexity, forget it – I don’t want the enquiry to fall apart if the third question is a problem.

Please do give me a call if this doesn’t make sense or if you need more information.

Thanks again

David Williams, HSJ
