I wish to make a Freedom of information request.
Please provide all emails about COVID-19 between this council and these care home providers:
- HC-One

Please also provide all emails about COVID-19 between this council and all local authority-run care homes.

Dear Mr Everett
Thank you for your request for information received on 07/05/2020. We are
currently processing your request in accordance with the relevant
legislation.
Your request is for information about communication with care homes about
COVID-19.
- This is a summary only and full details have been sent to the team
providing the response.
- If you feel the information is inaccurate or requires amendment, please
notify us as soon as possible using the contact details provided below.
Please note:
The Council has been facing unprecedented challenges this year. Firstly,
in response to the flooding in February and now in responding to the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. During this time, resources may have to
be diverted away from usual compliance or information rights work. The
council acknowledges that it can’t extend statutory timescales of requests
and everyone is doing their best to meet these. However, priority may have
to be given to other areas, eg the safeguarding of vulnerable people,
during this extraordinary period.
The Information Commissioner’s Office has blogged about their approach to
requests during this time: [1]blog

Protection and the Coronavirus here: [2]statement
