Where you have requested a breakdown of the spend by grade/specialism and highest hourly charge, we are unable to provide this level of detail. This information could be linked to individual salaries, which could personally identify people and costs.
The Data Protection Act 2018 requires the processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would be disproportionate for us to publicly disclose these details unless there is a strong public interest in doing so. These individuals have a legitimate expectation that their personal details will not be disclosed in the context in which they are held.
On balance, there is no legitimate public interest in disclosing this information and it would not be fair to do so.

And who is responsible for managing them?
In terms of any ‘contractual relationships’, No information is held falling within the scope of this part of your request. Our People Services Team manage any contact from a recruitment perspective.
- Please can you please provide me with the name, contact number & email address of the person responsible for agreeing on staffing contracts for your organisation.
- Please can you provide details of the names of the decision-makers who ultimately decide which agencies your organisation uses for non-clinical staff for CCS Staffing Framework Agreement RM6277 and the previous Temporary and Fixed Term Staff CCS Framework RM6160.
Finally, In relation to the details of staff dealing with recruitment, this is personal data which is exempt from disclosure. The Data Protection Act 2018 requires the processing of personal data to be fair and lawful.
It would be disproportionate for us to publicly disclose the identity of these individuals given their position within the organisation unless there is a strong public interest in doing so. These individuals have a legitimate expectation that their personal details will not be disclosed unnecessarily as they are not public facing roles or roles that are senior enough to warrant their identities being made publicly available.
This information is therefore exempt under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
