Dear Mr Humphreys,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST Ref: 20116
Further to your request for information, I kindly request that you grant us a short extension so that we can comply fully with your request. This is due to the way that our information is recorded. Our Finance Department need to liaise with our Procurement Services to determine the information you require; however, the systems used by both departments are not compatible and we therefore have to manually cross reference some of the information to ensure that it falls within the parameters of your request.
I do not estimate that this task will exceed the appropriate limit, but would be grateful of your understanding in our request for additional time so that this task can be completed and that the information disclosed is accurate. I hope to be able to provide you with the information at the earliest opportunity and no later than Friday 05 May 2023.
I understand that this is disappointing and not the level of service expected. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish to discuss (01872 255014) or if you have any queries or concerns. Please accept my apologies on behalf of the Trust for any inconvenience that this may cause and be assured that I will forward any information to you at the earliest opportunity. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
Best wishes
