Request and Response

I am keen to understand the number of long-term shifts completed by NHS staff. As such, can I request the following:

1.    What was the longest continuous shift an NHS member of staff completed in the following calendar years, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, broken down by profession?

In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested as our system does not record the length of continuous shifts.

2.    How many junior doctors have worked a continuous shift of a) over 8 hours; b) over 10 hours; and c) over 12 hours in the following calendar years, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, broken down by profession?
