Hlth117 Number of redundancies in Welsh Health Trusts since 1 January 2010

7 December 2011

Dear ,

Thank you for your e-mail of 22 November asking for:
•the number of personnel positions (full time and part time, including bank positions) that have been closed in all of the Welsh Health Trusts since 1 January 2011, and in the whole of 2010
•you would also like to know how many of those people made redundant due to positions closing were women

Further to my initial acknowledgement to you on the 25 November, the Welsh Government does not collect or hold this information centrally. Local Health Boards and Trusts in Wales are responsible for keeping their own records. The contact details for each of these organisations is attached for ease of reference, should you wish to contact them.

If you believe I have not followed the relevant laws, or you are unhappy with this response, you may request an internal review by writing to:
Joanna Jordan
Director
Corporate Services and Partnerships
Department for Health, Social Services and Children
Cathays Park
Cardiff
CF10 3NQ

When dealing with any concerns, we will follow the principles set out in the Welsh Government’s Code of Practice on Complaints which is available on the Internet at www.wales.gov.uk or by post.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. Normally, however, you should provide us with an opportunity to undertake an internal review before you complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Also, if you think there has been maladministration in dealing with your request then you may make a complaint to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales who can be contacted at:
