Dear FOI (YORKSHIRE AMBULANCE SERVICE NHS TRUST),

The last three years.
I am seperately very disappointed about how this request has been handled. You have a duty to seek clarification promptly, and to wait until the end of the 20 day response period to ask such a basic question is incredibly poor practice. Restarting the clock following this, though legal, is in poor faith and if anything similar recurs I will flag a complaint to the ICO for poor practise.

Yours sincerely,

Jake Hurfurt

Good Morning Jake,

I Apologise Jake, you are right it should have been clarified sooner, I only recently joined the team and I am trying to work through the work prior to me joining which is why it wasn’t picked up sooner.
I have requested the information you require and will ensure you receive a response

Kind Regards
