Dear Mr Morris,
 
I refer to your request for information, which was received on 15^th
February, 2015 and has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.
 
The specific information you requested was as follows:
 
“I would like to know how many Subject Access Requests the Council
processed in accordance with its obligations under the 1998 Data
Protection Act.  Please identify the number of Subject Access Requests
received in the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and current. For each year from
2012 to present, please identify how many Subject Access Requests were
fulfilled within the 40 calendar days prescribed in the Act. For each year
from 2012 to present, please identify how many Subject Access Requests
took between 41 and 91 days to resolve. For 2012, 2013 and 2014 please
identify how many Subject Access Requests took 92 days and longer to
resolve and those from 2014 which have taken more than 92 days are
ongoing.  For the years from 2012 to present, how many times has the
Information Commissioner's Office provided advice, direction and
instruction to Carmarthenshire County Council with reference to its
obligations under the 1998 Data Protection Act?”
 
In response, please find attached a file containing the relevant
information held by the Council.
 
I would also add that those requests which took longer than 92 days to
comply with were mainly complex cases involving very large amounts of
files/documents, concerning child protection and other social care issues,
where extensive reading and redaction of documents was required to ensure
that highly sensitive information regarding third parties was not
disclosed.
 
With regard to the Information Commissioner’s Office, during the period
covered by your request, the Council has received 9 responses from the ICO
under Section 42 of the Data Protection Act 1998.  Seven related to
complaints received by the ICO and 2 were in relation to matters referred
to the ICO by the Council itself.
 
Yours sincerely
