Dear Waltham Forest 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.

I expect a response within 20 working Days.

Yours faithfully,

Re: FOI Response FOI83961040 "Freedom of Information request - Average
wait times for Adult Social Work Needs Assessments".

Dear [name removed]

We have considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2005.

This information was a statutory requirement for local authorities to
capture until 31 March 2014.  This required year-round monitoring and
auditing to ensure accurate information was reported.   As the requirement
ceased, we no longer collect or collate this information.

 

We are therefore refusing your request under Section 12 of Part II of the
Act.

The time to extract, collate and validate any recording after 31 March
2014 would exceed the time limits of staff time required to deal with the
request.
