Dear [name removed],

Information Request:  EFOI 7398

Thank you for your information request dated 4^th August 2018 received in
our office on the same day. 

I would like you to provide stats on the average wait times for an Adult
Social Work needs assessment over the last 3 years. If possible please
break it down by month. If the above breaches the maximum aloud to spend
(Section 12 of the FOIA) on a request please prioritise the last year.

I have reviewed your request and investigated whether there is any
information which can be disclosed to you and have found that Eastbourne
Borough Council does not hold the information you have requested.

The responsible authority for adult social care is East Sussex County
Council and their Freedom of Information Officer can be contacted at the
address below.

this organization on your behalf we will be happy to do this.  In order to
transfer your request we will require you to give us your explicit
consent.

May I take this opportunity to inform you that by transferring your
request to another public organization the 20 working day response
timeframe is ‘reset’ and the organisation that receives your request will
have 20 working days from the time they receive your request to respond to
you.

All applicants have a 'right of appeal'.  An appeal should be focused on
the original request and should identify how the council’s response failed
to answer your information request.  Appeals must be made in writing (or
