Dear South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council,

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.

Dear South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of South Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Average wait times for Adult Social Work Needs Assessments'.

I disagree with your section 12 note as not only do I specifically state to narrow the request down to a year if it will breach the limit I have also requested information from several other councils and they have managed to find it within the expense limit.

Yours faithfully,
