Dear Greenwich Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Greenwich Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'EHCP Requests'.
I specifically asked what percentage of requests were approved, however I was given the number of EHCP'S approved. I am trying to find out what percentage of requests for an EHCP were approved. The information I was given does not tell me this, unless you also tell me (for both questions) how many were not approved and I could work out the percentages myself. Please can I have the information I requested.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/e...
Yours faithfully,
Dawn Toby
