Dear Jamie

 

Further to your email dated 4^th November 2022, please find the Trust’s
response below.  Your request has been allocated the following reference:
01/FOI/22/000299, please could you quote this reference in any future
correspondence with the Trust.

 

Could you please pass an up to date fleet list as of 04/11/22.

Information requested:

Vehicle model

Vehicle base

Vehicle plate

Vehicle role.

 

Regarding the request above the Trust has thought carefully around the
information requested and have decided to withhold parts of the
information - vehicle plate and base. The Trust will be applying exemption
section 24 of the Freedom of Information Act to this part of your request.

Section 24 National Security:

(1) Information which does not fall within section 23(1) is exempt
information if exemption from section 1(1)(b) is required for the purpose
of safeguarding national security

The FOI request in question is enquiring about vehicle registration plates
and the base location where these vehicles are parked when not in use.
Disclosing this information would provide individuals with the knowledge
of where marked vehicles are, which then could be used to steal the fleet
and also place the Trust at risk.  The Trust needs to ensure information
being released is information which cannot be used in a way which can be
detrimental to the Trust as an organisation, the staff and also the
patients using the service.

As section 24(1) is a qualified exemption, the Trust has gone on to
consider the public interest in this case. The Trust accepts that there is
a public interest in this case. Whilst there is a need for protecting the
Trust and its fleet, there is also a public interest in ensuring that the
Trust protects itself when transporting and treating patients. Therefore
on the balance the Trust considers that the public interest in favour of
disclosure is outweighed by the public interest in favour of maintaining
the exemption.

 

Please find attached a full Trust fleet list containing the information we
are able to provide in response to your request.

 

I am obliged to advise you that if you are dissatisfied with the Trust’s
response to your request you have a right to complain to the Trust and
should set out your concerns to the Freedom of Information Officer, EEAST,
Hospital Approach, Broomfield, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 7WS or by email to
[1][East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust request email]. If you remain dissatisfied following this, you have
a right under Section 50 of the FOIA to seek a determination from the
Information Commissioner on whether the Act has been properly applied by
the Trust. For more information, please see [2]www.ico.gov.uk/

 

Under the Accessible Information Standard the Trust is required to ask our
FoI applicants equality and diversity questions. You are under no
obligation; however we would be grateful if you could complete the form
attached and email this back to us.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further
information.

 

Kind regards
