Dear Mr Prabhu,

Original FOI request: Payment to Suppliers from Oct 2022 to Jun 2023

Some of the information requested contains personal data as defined by the
Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). As the subject of this personal data would
have no expectation that the information would be made public, it is
considered that publication of the information would be a breach of
principle 1 of the DPA. The information is, therefore, considered exempt
under Sections 38(1)(b) and 38(2)(a)(i) of Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act.

Under Section 20 of Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act, you have the
right to request that the Highland Council reviews any aspect of how it
has dealt with your request. This requirement for review should be
requested to the Freedom of Information Officer, Chief Executive’s Office,
Glenurquhart Road, Inverness IV3 5NX, or [email address], within 40
working days of receipt of this response. The request should include
details of the information requested and the aspects of the Highland
Council’s response which you are not satisfied with.

If you are subsequently dissatisfied with the outcome of the Council's
review, you have the right to appeal to the Scottish Information
Commissioner under Section 47 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland)
Act, within six months of receiving the Council's review response.

Yours sincerely
Customer Resolution and Improvement Team
