Adult Social Care

Dear M Sowerby,

Thank you for your request for information received on 16 January 2011.

The information you have requested is personal data relating to Lorraine
Goude. We believe that it would be unfair to Lorraine to disclose this
information to the world at large, which would be the effect of
releasing it under the Freedom of Information Act ("the Act"). This
would be a breach of the first data data protection principle. We are
therefore unable to release this information as it is exempt under
section 40(2) and 40(3)(a)(i) of the Act.

If you are unhappy with our response to your request you can ask for an
internal review of our decision. Please send details of your request for
review to the following address:
