Please see document located here. Please note, the figures provided within the document are agency staff costs only as temporary staff are coded to general salary costs within the Council's Financial Systems and as a result we are unable to separately identify these. Figures including temporary staff costs therefore fall under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held. 

Please note, some data has been redacted (*): due to the low numbers (less than 5) of agency staff, it is believed that this data would allow the hours worked by individual staff to be calculated. This information is therefore exempt from release under Section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - personal information, and Section 33(1)(b) - whereby disclosure would (or would be likely to) prejudice substantially the commercial interests of any person or organisation.
