Dear Vera,

 

Freedom of Information

With reference to your request detailed below, please see the Trust’s
response below in bold text.

 

With regards  to question 6(d),(e) and (f),  the information you have
requested is not recorded in a way that is easily extracted. To be able to
respond to your enquiry it would be necessary to manually check for the
information.  To do this we believe it would take more than the time limit
set out under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate
Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 to complete the work. The limit set down
by the regulations for public authorities is £450, which amounts to a
maximum of 18 hours of search and retrieval time charged at £25.00 per
hour, the hourly rate also specified in the regulations.

 

Under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 the Trust is
therefore not required to complete this additional work.

 

If you would prefer the initial enquiry to continue, please let me know
and I will issue a fee’s notice for the total hours required to complete
the work.
