Dear Public Liaison Officer,
Thank you for responding to my FOI request.
As some of information was withheld from the response due to data protection policy, I was wondering if you could instead provide total figure for the whole period for:
1) Adult service first appointments (point 2 of the request), and
2) KOI service referrals (point 3)?
I believe the provision of this information would not fall under the section 40(2) of FOIA.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Steven Brown

Due to data protection they gave quite a few monthly figures as '<5' so I requested annual ones instead.
This request was merged with the KOI request (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/k...), correspondence and updates on both requests will be here.
