Public Health Wales have not used Off-framework nursing agency staff in the last two months.

The specific roles are not held in relation to the agency spend, they are recorded by area of the organisation. Therefore, we are unable to provide this information for the specific staff groups.

Please note that this information is for Public Health Wales only. Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. Therefore, do not have access to this information. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and frequently do not have access to the data that they produce.

 

I have provided contact details for each Health Board below. If you require this information for all the NHS Wales Trusts you would need to contact them individually for this information.
