I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please provide the following details:

The number of DSARs completed within the statutory one-month timeframe during each year.
The number of DSARs that required an extension beyond the one-month timeframe, along with the average length of extensions granted.
Any recorded costs (e.g., staff time, software, or other resources) associated with processing DSARs for each of these years.
If possible, please provide this information in a tabular format.
If the cost of fulfilling this request exceeds the statutory limit, I would be grateful if you could provide advice and assistance to refine the request.
