1. I would like to know how much Wokingham Borough Council has spent on consultants, advisers and interim posts at Assistant Director level and above for the financial years 2019 to 2020, 2020 to 2021, 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023. Can you provide this information as a total amount and as a percentage of the total council spend for each year.
a) 2019/20: We do not hold information in a format where we can answer the question.
b) 2020/21: We do not hold information in a format where we can answer the question.
c) 2021/22: We do not hold information in a format where we can answer the question.
d) 2022/23: We do not hold information in a format where we can answer the question.

Interim members of staff are not identifiable over time on our systems, and may become permanent members of staff at some stage of working at the Council. The Council publishes spend over £500 and the Medium Term Financial plan on the website which may hold data that allows you to extract details from this, however those payments would be for all agency/temp staff and not just those at Assistant Director or above. To go through all the data we hold would exceed 18 hours to be able to answer these questions.
