Dear Jo Davies,

 

Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request for Information 713

 

Having received your request for information on 25.01.2012 regarding day
services for adults with a learning disability, unfortunately the
information you have requested is not held centrally and would involve
interrogating hundreds of adult files. I regret that we will be unable to
respond fully on this matter as to do so would exceed the appropriate fees
and cost limit as detailed in the Freedom of Information and Data
Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004. However, within
the cost limit, we can provide the information below;

 

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I kindly request the following
information in relation to day services for adults with a learning
disability in your local authority:

    

1)      How many adults aged 18-65 with a learning disability were known
to social services in

      a) 2009/10 = 686

      b) 2010/11 = 689

      c) 2011/12 = 689

 

    Source RAP P1 (this is the computer programme within Swift, used by
Rotherham MBC)    

    

     2) How many adults aged 18-65 with a learning disability attended day
activities in

     a) 2009/10 = 278

     b) 2010/11 = 275

     c) 2011/12 = 274

 

     Source RAP P2f (this is the computer programme within Swift, used by
Rotherham MBC) 

 

In accordance with the procedures of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough
Council (RMBC), I am advising you that the cost to the authority in
responding to this request has been £56.42 which reflects the staff time
and administration costs involved. RMBC however does not currently make
any charge to customers for processing Freedom of Information Act
requests.

 

If you are not satisfied with this response you have the right to an
internal review by the Council.  Please contact us via the above email
address or by post to Sarah Corbett, Information Governance Manager, Legal
Services, Riverside House, Main Street, Rotherham, S60 1AE.

 

If you are not satisfied with the internal review, you can appeal to the
Information Commissioner.  Contact details are: Information Commissioner’s
Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire. SK9 5AF. Telephone
01625 545700. Alternatively go to [1]http://www.ico.gov.uk/
