LS18/LS19 children
Dear NHS Digital,
Please can I be provided with the current number of children who currently meet the criteria below within the Personal Demographics Service (PDS).
- Date of birth between 1st Sept 2016 and 31 Aug 2017
- First part of residential post code is LS18
- First part of residential post code is LS19
NB
- please split LS18 and LS19, so I have a number of children within each post code
- please state how recent the data is (e.g. as at 01/06/2020)
Yours faithfully,
Mike McAtominey

Dear Mike McAtominey,
I am writing to acknowledge that your request for information was received
by NHS Digital on 26/06/2020 and is currently being considered.
If NHS Digital is able to provide you with the information you have
requested, then under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act you are
entitled to receive it promptly and in any event no later than the 20th
working day following the date of receipt. However, we may need to contact
you to clarify your request. If this is required we aim to do this
promptly but no later than 7 days after receiving your initial request for
information.
May I take this opportunity to explain the FOI Act in more detail? The Act
provides a 'General right of access to information held by public
authorities'. However, it also defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent the release of some or all of the information you have requested.
Therefore, NHS Digital will assess your information request in light of
any relevant exemptions.
If exemptions do apply, then NHS Digital may decide not to release all, or
part, of the information you have requested. I shall inform you if this is
the case, and advise you of your rights of appeal.
If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken as to whether to
release the information to you.
The response to your request will be sent to you by email, however if you
require your response in any other format, please contact us to discuss a
suitable format.
NHS Digital will not normally charge a fee to provide you with the
information you have requested, unless the cost of dealing with your
request is more than £450 as outlined in Section 12 of the FOI Act and
Section 3 of the The FOI and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees)
Regulations 2004. If it appears likely that your request will cost more,
then NHS Digital is able to refuse to supply the information. As per our
obligations under Section 16 of the FOI Act, every effort will be made to
provide you with details of how you may be able to reframe your request in
order for us to complete the required work within the (£450 / 18 person
hours) cost limit.
If you have any queries or should you wish to make a complaint about the
manner in which your request is being processed then please do not
hesitate to contact us at [1][NHS Digital request email] in the first
instance. Any complaints will be investigated in accordance with NHS
Digital's complaints procedure.
Further information about your rights under the Freedom of Information
Act, is available from the Information Commissioner's Office, Wilmslow,
Cheshire and on the NHS Digital website.
Kind Regards,
