University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) completed a merger by acquisition of Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (HEFT) on 1st April 2018. Due to historical differences in data collection/reporting across UHB and the former Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust this response has been provided by hospital site.
I would like you to send me the locum agency spend in the AHP/HSS division of the hospital for Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists in acute settings as well as the community. I would like to know the spend for 2018, also including the amount of locums that this refers to per month, broken down on a monthly basis. In the breakdown if you could please include the agencies that provide the locums also broken down numerically.
Ideally this would read as below –
January 2018 – £20k Community – £16k Acute
Sugarmans – Occupational Therapists x 3
Just OT – Occupational Therapists x 2
RIG – Physiotherapists x 2
Maxxima – Physiotherapists x 2
Sugarmans – Physiotherapists x 2
Then a breakdown all the way to as present as possible.
Please see attached spreadsheet (QE tab – Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, HGS – Heartlands, Good Hope, and Solihull Hospitals).
The Trust does hold the information you have requested regarding the number of locums employed per month, however, due to the small numbers involved, we believe releasing this information could lead to identification of the individuals. We are therefore withholding this information under section 40 of the Freedom of Information Act.
