UK Hotel Quarantine Cost break up

UK Health Security Agency did not have the information requested.

Dear UK Health Security Agency,

My name is Saranyan Deivasigamani, I am among the travellers who visited India and hit by compulsory Hotel quarantine after categorised as “Red List Countries”in 2021. The cost of quarantine is beyond my affordability but still I was forced to pay to enter the country..The cost seems very expensive for the purpose it was ment to be. I would like to know the cost breakdown of the quarantine cost £1750? Could you please provide the details?

I have requested this information last year from Department of Health and Social Care (FOI-1350078) but only received a response after 1 year that they don’t hold information and advice to contact UKHSA.

Yours faithfully,
Saranyan

Dear UK Health Security Agency,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of UK Health Security Agency's handling of my FOI request 'UK Hotel Quarantine Cost break up'.

When I paid for the quarantine, the invoice from the hotel is not in detail. So please provide the breakup of this cost.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/u...

Yours faithfully,
Saranyan
