LAHCS Measurement Tool: Data Gathering Framework
- established posts
- staff in post
- contractual commitments
- vacancies
- sickness absence
- annual leave absence
- unused flexi staff [Staff who, as part of their weekly commitments, are engaged on a flexible basis and provide cover for day-to-day absences]
- service users in hospital
- additional hours [Hours out with contracted commitments]
- travel time
- other [Includes training, paternity leave, secondments to office, lunch clubs, cancelled services]
- spare hours [Hours not committed to any activity]
This information was then input into a spreadsheet against the headings for each locality area [LAHCS operates over two geographic localities (East and West)]
The figures were aggregated and totalled for each area. By deducting the non-activity in columns (iv) to (xii) inclusive from the contractual commitments this then produced the activity data in each locality.
