Dear Mr Nunn

Further to your Freedom of Information Act request of 9 October (shown below), please see below the response from Andrew Frosdick, Borough Secretary, Barnsley Council.

Many thanks

Response begins:

The Authority has not specifically collated details of section 32 notices. It would exceed the costs exemption limit as it would in my reasonable estimate take more than 18.5 hours to examine every complaint file to ascertain the very few notices which were issued. So the information is strictly exempt from disclosure.

However from my personal knowledge there have been fewer than 5. They have related to complaints where information given to the Ombudsman in responding to the complaint was sensitive personal data which it was not appropriate to disclose to the complainant.
