Request Summary: Request for Workforce Information
Request Category: Health
| Question Number 1: I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following workforce information for your Trust for each of the following pay years: 2018/19, 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22 and 2022/23: • The consultant workforce expressed in headcount (average of the monthly totals during each year). | |
| Answer To Question 1: 2018/19 192 2019/20 191 2020/21 202 2021/22 211 2022/23 220 | |
| Question Number 2: • The consultant workforce expressed in whole time or full time equivalent (WTE/FTE), where WTE/FTE reflects all programmed activities undertaken by consultants, including additional programmed activities (average of the monthly totals during each year). By programmed activities, we mean the unit used by hospitals to plan consultant work. o For avoidance of doubt, this is different to the FTE figure routinely published in the NHS Digital NHS Workforce Statistics (https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/nhs-workforce-statistics), where individual consultants contributing to that figure can only take up to a value of 1 FTE, even where they are working more than full-time. | |

| Question Number 4: The total number of additional programmed activities (APA’s) performed by consultants during each of the stated years.
