Dear Sarah,

Thank you for your email regarding your recent Freedom of Information Request. I will now be treating your letter as a complaint.

The Access Manager would normally expect to be able to deal with such matters within 20 working days. On occasion this is not possible because of issues that arise in reviewing a complaint. If this is the case the Access Manager will write to you again and explain any delay and when you can expect an answer. At present I have no reason to believe this matter cannot be dealt with within the timescale.

If you have any queries regarding the above or would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many Thanks,
