East Dunbartonshire Council

Dear Nikhil,

Thank you for your email to East Dunbartonshire Council,
East Dunbartonshire Council does not keep the information requested in a
collated form and in order to provide the information a manual adjustment
of our records would be required. This is in line with GDPR & Commercially
sensitive information manual redaction. The costs of obtaining this
information would incur fees that would exceed the upper cost limit of
£600 as set out in the Fees regulations of Annex 3 of the Code of Practice
on the Discharge of Functions by Public Authorities under the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and we are therefore unable to release the
information.
The cost was calculated as follows:
Staff time:   £ 8.50  x 35 hours                 £297.50
                  £14.00 x 35 hours                 £490.00 
                                       £787.50     
Total cost = £787.50

Would it be possible to refine the terms of your request in order to bring
it under the cost limit?

If you are dissatisfied with the way in which East Dunbartonshire Council
responded to your request, you are entitled to require the Council to
review its decision. The review will be handled by staff who were not
involved in the original decision. Please note that in order for a review
to take place you must:
·        Lodge a written requirement for a review within 40 working days
of the date of this letter
·        Include a correspondence address and a description of the
original request and the reason why you are dissatisfied.
·        Address your request to the Freedom of Information Officer:

Stephen Armstrong
Freedom of Information/Data Protection Officer,
East Dunbartonshire Council,
Telephone No. 0141-578 8057

working days of receipt of your request. The notice will state the
findings of the review as well as details of how to appeal to the Scottish
Information Commissioner if you are still dissatisfied with the Council’s
response. You must request an internal review by the Council before a
complaint can be directed to the Scottish Information Commissioner.

Yours sincerely

it under the cost limit.

In particular I am looking for itemized transactions for all suppliers who provide a service ONLY in Health and Social Care, from 1st January 2019 - 30th June 2019, preferably in a CSV format. This would include all suppliers falling under the following categories :-

a. Children's Residential/ Nursing Care Providers

c. Elderly Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
d. Domiciliary Care Home Providers
e. Supported Living Care Home Providers
f. Care at Home Providers

To narrow my scope -- We are looking for payments to suppliers who provide a service in Health and Social Care ONLY.
