Request

I am completing some research into international recruitment in the NHS following a study funded by the ILO on international recruitment of health professionals.  In order to complete this study I am compiling information on the use of international recruitment and framework agreements within the NHS.  I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions.   

Is your CCG involved in decision making about international recruitment of nurses within the hospitals from which you commission services?

Have you ever asked for information on staffing or recruitment from NHS hospitals? What information? Please provide this information.

Do you know whether the hospitals that you commission recruit internationally? If so, do they?

Do you know how many nurses have you recruited internationally in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015? If so, please provide figures.

Have you been provided with any documents that relate to international recruitment? If so please provide copies of these documents?

Do you know whether the hopsitals that you commissions use framework agreements for international recruitment of nurses? If they do, which one/s?

Do you know who is responsible for international recruitment of nurses within the hospitals that you commission? If so please provide their contact details.
