Dear Requester

 

REF: NUH 60578 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

 

We are considering your request for information which was received on
12^th January 2021.

 

I can confirm that the Trust holds information that falls within the
description specified in your request. However, we estimate that the cost
of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit of £450.
The appropriate limit is set by the Secretary of State in SI 2004 No 3244
- The Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and
Fees) Regulations 2004 as a limit of £450 for Public Authorities.This
represents the estimated cost of one person spending over 18 hours (at
rate of £25 per hour) in determining whether the Trust holds the
information, and in locating, retrieving and extracting information.

 

Under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act the Trust is therefore
not obliged to comply with your request and we will not be processing your
request further.

 

If you narrow the scope of your request the Trust may be able to provide
the information free of charge because it would cost less than the
appropriate limit to do so although we cannot guarantee that this will be
the case. Any reformulated request received will be treated as a fresh FOI
request.

 

If you have any queries or concerns about this letter, please contact me.
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.
