Dear Mr Green

 

Thank you for your two requests for information from Airedale NHS
Foundation Trust which was received on 29^th September 2020.  Your request
has been given the Reference Number ANHSFT REF  4978.  To cut down the
amount of administration involved in gathering the information and
responding to you, I have combined your requests as below.

 

We will now proceed to process the request.  The deadline date for issuing
you with a full response is 27^th October 2020.   We will try to respond
to you before this date and we will contact you if we envisage delays or
if we need more information from you.

 

Please note that under the Freedom of Information Act, some information
can be subject to exemptions, which means that the Trust does not have to
provide the information requested.  Some exemptions are “absolute” such as
personal information and some only apply where the “public interest” in
maintaining the exemption, outweighs that of providing the information.

 

In some cases, where identifying, retrieving and processing the requested
information requires more time than the “appropriate cost limit” of two
and half days work, we may refuse the request or we can charge a fee.  If
the latter is the case, I will let you know and a Fees Notice will be
issued to you.  In that case you would need to pay the fee before we
proceeded with your request,  but we will offer assistance and advise you
if, by modifying your request, we could provide you with some non-exempt
or free of charge information.

 

Please contact me, quoting the Reference Number above, with any questions
you might have about your request.

 

With kind regards
