The Public Health workforce

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information regarding your Public Health workforce:

1. Details of filled and unfilled roles for Public Health specialists on the specialist registers (e.g. Consultants in Public Health and Directors of Public Health) within your team

2. The whole-time equivalent (WTE) for each role

3. The total remuneration package for each post, both actual and full-time equivalent

4. The salary ceiling for each role

5. Whether each role is permanent, fixed term or a secondment

6. The total population served (for teams working across multiple local authorities please report the combined population)

7. Director of Public Health and Public Health specialist capacity per million population, and per local authority where there are joint teams or appointments

8. Please provide the title and full-time equivalent remuneration package for staff in the Public Health team earning above £70,000 but not required to be on the Public Health Specialist Registers.

For reference, the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 requires authorities to publish details of employees whose remuneration is at least £50,000, including job titles, a list of responsibilities (for example, the services and functions they are responsible for, budget held and number of staff) and details of bonuses and benefits-in-kind. The Local Government Association has published relevant guidance: https://www.local.gov.uk/sites/default/files/documents/publishing-organisation-i-faa.pdf
