Request

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act regarding the number of employees within your organisation based in the Northeast Region of England broken down by job title. Specifically, I would like to request a comprehensive list of all job titles held by employees within NHS BSA [Northeast Region] as well as the corresponding number of employees assigned to each respective title. To be clear I’m not asking for employees names just the job title. This information will be used for research purposes and to better understand the staffing structure within your organisation.
