Dear Mr Sheffield

I would look to provide the response to you by the end of next week -
there are Committee Reports which had previously been restricted I have
asked the Managers from the service area to forward their opinion as to
whether they consider them to still be restricted, equally I am
considering Sections 41 & 43 (Information provided in confidence and
Commercial interests)

Apologies for the delay in response.

Dear Glanville, Andrea,

Thank you.

May I suggest that, if applicable to Section 41 and Section 43,
that the actual costs per unit of the three bench marked rates are
available to any carer wanting to purchase services from an agency.

May I also suggest that a breakdown of the rates in percentage
terms would be perfectly acceptable if you did not wish to publish
any figures.

Further to any Committee reports, I would, as in my initial request
wish to see the research, and any emails containing discussion
presented to any committee in reaching the three bench marked
rates.

Yours sincerely,

Pete Sheffield
