Dear Bury 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 [name removed]

             

Request for Information - Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) - 9883

I write further to your e-mail received by the Council on 6^th August 2018
where you made the following request for information.

The Council’s response to your request is as follows;

Request; 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 allowed
to spend (Section 12 of the FOIA) on a request please prioritise the last
year.

Response; Unfortunately the data is not held in a reportable format within
our IT system.

Please note: The supply of information in response to a Freedom of
Information request does not confer an automatic right to re-use the
information.  Under UK copyright law you can use any information supplied
for the purpose of private study and non-commercial research without
requiring permission.  Similarly, information supplied can also be re-used
for the purposes of news reporting.  An exception to this is photographs.

For other forms of re-use, for example publishing the information, you
would need the permissions of the organisation or the person who owns the
copyright.  In the case of information produced by government departments
and agencies you can re-use the information under the Open Government
Licence.  For more information about this please see:-

[1]http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/o...

If, however, the copyright is identified as belonging to somebody else,
you will need to apply for permission.  For information how to obtain
permission from a third party, please go to Intellectual Property Office’s
website at [2]www.ipo.gov.uk

For transparency purposes, it is now the Council's policy to advise on the
costs of dealing with each Freedom of Information request.  Please note
that to deal with this request it has cost the Council £25 per hour.

Should you have any queries regarding this, please contact me on 0161 253
7646.
