Dear Mr Nunn

Request for information

In your email of 9 December, you asked for the individual settlement figures for the 20 local settlements made with the London Borough of Haringey with respect to complaints determined from April 2000 to March 2008.

In three cases, records are no longer held beyond the monetary figure, but otherwise the table on the next page also includes information on other action the settlement covered beyond the payment of a financial remedy.

That concludes my response and I hope you find the information useful. If you feel I have not dealt properly with your request, you have the right to appeal and, should you wish to do so, I can supply a copy our internal complaints procedure. You also have the right to apply to the Information Commissioner to determine whether your request has been properly dealt with. You should note however that the Commissioner will not consider any complaint where you have not first exhausted our internal complaints process or where there has been undue delay in contacting him. You will be able to obtain further details of the Information Commissioner's role from the website on www.ico.gov.uk.

Yours sincerely

Hilary Pook (Ms)

Communications and Records Manager
