Council Expenditure or Payment to Suppliers for Dec 2018

The request was successful.

Dear Haringey Borough Council,

I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information act for all transactions over £500 for December 2018. As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value and recipient of each transaction.

If it would help, I am specifically looking for payments to suppliers who provide a service in Health and Social Care. This would include all suppliers falling under the categories :-

1. Payments to suppliers who provide fostering and adoption services to the Council
2. Payments to suppliers who provide care services to the council. This would include suppliers who provide care under each of below -
a. Children's Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
b. Adult Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
c. Elderly Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
d. Domiciliary Care Home Providers
e. Supported Living Care Home Providers
f. Care at Home Providers
g. Providers who carry out Homeless Services
3. Payments to suppliers who provide Special Education Services

In particular I am looking for itemized transactions for suppliers - preferably in CSV format. I look forward to the information at the earliest.

Yours Faithfully,
Nikhil Prabhu

Dear Haringey Borough Council,

Thank you for your response.

The reason we asked for this data is that we see only 8 Fostering transactions for Dec 2018, whereas other months have substantially more txns. Hence data seems to be missing for that month, is that correct?
We would be grateful if you could check for us.

With Regards,
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Prabhu,

Re: Freedom of Information Act Request ref: LBH/9282319

 

Thank you for your request for information received on 04 November 2019,
in which you asked for the following:

 

o All transactions over £500 for December 2018

 

 

My response is as follows:

 

The information you have requested is published on our website. A link to
the page is provided below:

[1]https://www.haringey.gov.uk/business/sel...

 

Due to the number of bank holiday in the month, some payments scheduled
for the end of December were made in early January. This resulted in a
reduced number of payments in December 2018.

 

 

 

If you are unhappy with how we have responded to your request you can ask
us to conduct an Internal Review. If so, please contact the [2]Corporate
Feedback Team.  (Please note you should do so within two months of this
response.)

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Dear Haringey Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Haringey Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Council Expenditure or Payment to Suppliers for Dec 2018'.

[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]
We have analysed the data provided under https://www.haringey.gov.uk/business/sel.... Whereas prior to Dec 2018, the Council transacted ~1000 fostering related services, since then these payments have dried up to a few 100's.

Mr. Andrew Osei, Business Partner – Children’s Services wrote "Due to the number of bank holiday in the month, some payments scheduled for the end of December were made in early January. This resulted in a reduced number of payments in December 2018."

This too does not make sense, as the payments made in January 2019 & subsequent are still significantly lower than prior to Dec 2018.

Hence, either the Council has withheld revealing these transactions or there is some other reason. We kindly request the Council to review this response & either provide missing data or a reasonable explanation for the drastic decrease in Fostering related payments.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
nikhil prabhu

Dear Nikhil Prabhu,

I note that Haringey Council has replied to you via an email "sent to you securely using Egress". You are asked to "read this secure email online … This free service is provided by Haringey Council and enables you to communicate securely. … If you have Egress installed, simply open the attachment.” At the end of the Haringey's "Confidentiality Notice" there appears a copyright notice of Egress Software Technologies Ltd. Can please I ask:

• Did you request that an answer be provided on a confidential basis?
• Were you expecting a communication from Haringey that is "secure"?
• Did you have "Egress" installed?
• If you did not have Egress installed, but now do have it installed, how did the installation go?
• Have you been able to open the attachment ("simply")?
• Was any part of the council's response redacted?
• Do you know of any reason why the information should not be known to the (wider) public?
