Dear K.Hart

Unfortunately we were unable to facilitate your request within the 20 day
working day time frame.  Some of the reasons for this is due to the volume
of requests received into the Trust and heavy workloads within the
organisation.

We apologise for not yet responding to you and would appreciate it if you
could confirm you still require this data?

 

Regards
