Clarification Q:
Please can you be more specific about the parameters.
There may be some officers whose period of suspension crosses two years and they will be counted twice in the response if provided as requested.
Clarification A:
Could you please provide data on officers who were suspended at some point during these years (their suspension potentially having commenced at an earlier point), rather than those placed on suspension during these years.
I appreciate this means they would be potentially counted twice across the whole period.
Clarification Q:
Please can you advise if the question is asking for the total amount for all staff/officers broken down by year as opposed to individual officer/staff broken down by year?
Are you seeking a gross or a net figure.
Clarification A:
It is the gross figure that I’d like to receive.
