Information on C-TRIC
Dear Western Health and Social Care Trust (Northern Ireland),
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request information on the registered research company C-TRIC which is based at Altnagelvin Hospital. Based on information from their website it is a not-for-profit company and as such I request the following:
1. Can I have a copy of their financial account summary for the last 3 years.
2. Can I see the sources of funding for the last 3 years
4. An up to date list of the board of directors - as the current one seems to be out of date as it is on the website. https://c-tric.com/about/
5. The number of employees (full time and part time)
Yours faithfully,
Heidi Browne
Dear Western Health and Social Care Trust (Northern Ireland),
could I please have a response to the information I have requested? I understand that you state there are many FOI in progress but this response is now well overdue and reflects badly on the Trust
Yours faithfully,
Heidi Browne
Dear Ms Browne
We refer to your information request as detailed below.
We apologise for the delay in responding. The information you have requested is not held by the Western HSC Trust therefore we have been in contact with senior staff within C-TRIC for their assistance and advice on this matter.
They have sought their own internal advice and have informed the Trust that C-TRIC is designated as a "private limited company" (Company Number: NI069258) and is therefore not subject to FOI legislation.
As this information is not held by the Trust we are therefore unable to fulfil your request. If you have any further queries about this, you may wish to contact C-TRIC directly on [email address]”
Yours Sincerely
Freedom of Information Office
Western Health and Social Care Trust

If, after receiving a response, you remain dissatisfied, you can refer your complaint to the Information Commissioner at The Information Commissioner’s office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
