Dear Mr Hedley

We have now reconsidered our decision regarding your Freedom of Information request below. Please see attached a copy of the Council's ICT structure.

Can I stress that the Council has outsourced its ICT function to BT South Tyneside and as such only has one member of staff, the ICT Client Manger, responsible for ICT development. We also one Information Security Officer to oversee our security issues. We are therefore not in the same position as Newcastle or any of the other Councils to which you referred to below. As a private company BT South Tyneside are not obliged to disclose information under FOI requests, however, on this occasion we have agreed to provide the structure chart.

If you have are still dissatisfied with this response then I suggest you write to the Information Commissioner to ask for an independent review.
