For questions 1 to 4, I’m taking this to mean those who left due to a leaving reason of Dismissed-Regulation 13, Resignation following REG 13 Performance, Alternative to Regulation 13 and Resigned following REG13 Dismissal but not any resignations pending REG 13.
Looking between 01/01/21 to 17/07/24 based on the leaving date as we don’t know the notice date:

1) How many Regulation 13 notices were used between the 1st January 2021 - 31st December 2021? 1
2) How many Regulation 13 notices were used between the 1st January 2022 - 31st December 2022? 4
3) How many Regulation 13 notices were used between the 1st January 2023 - 31st December 2023? 10
4) How many Regulation 13 notices were used between the 1st January 2024 - date of review? 1

Q5 to Q8 - Our PSD team do not deal with “gross incompetence hearing” we have Gross Misconduct” or “Capability” hearings only. Therefore our response is No Information Held.

Q9 to Q12: We do not record a leaving reason of “dismissed as a result of vetting review”. Therefore our response is No Information Held.
