Dear Mr Pickering
I am writing further to your Freedom of Information request – attached. I
would like to offer you a sincere apology for the delay in responding to
your request. In March 2020, Adult Social Care regrettably had to take the
decision to suspend feedback activity in order to focus on our response to
the COVID-19 pandemic. The first national lockdown, and subsequent local
and national tier system and further lockdowns severely impaired our
ability to respond to information requests.
Having reviewed your FOI request, and in order to process the request
further, I am seeking clarification from you in regards to the following:
“So now my question is when Sandwell council pay private hire companies
who do Sandwell council pass the details on to” – please can you clarify
what details you are referring to and specifically what information you
are seeking?
Once we receive clarification from you, we will begin to process your
request and respond to you as soon as we are able.
Under Section 1(3) if the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a public
authority need not comply with a request unless any further information
reasonably required to locate the information is supplied.
Regards
Kate
