FOI Request
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
REFERENCE: 192-2122
Good morning,
Is this request something BI can help with? Or is it best to go to the services directly?
I would be grateful if you could kindly arrange for this information to be provided to me as soon as possible or no later than the 30th August 2021. If the information in the freedom of information request is commercially sensitive then please note the same on the response.
FOI Request – Information requested:
Please could you provide a breakdown of the number of patients who have waited over 52 weeks for elective treatment at your Trust by:
i. Ethnicity
ii. Whether or not English is their first language
iii. Whether or not they have a learning disability
If you are not the correct person to respond to part/all of the request, I would be grateful if you could let me know as soon as possible, and suggest who I need to send it to or forward it onto the person in question and copy me in.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 states that the respondent has 20 working days to reply to the query and if it takes longer than 20 working days to collate the information, the responder can ask the requester to grant discretionary extension of time up to a maximum of further 20 working days. Please let me know if it is likely that you will be unable to provide the relevant information to me by the above deadline.
The act also allows the respondent to reject or charge the requester for the request if it would take 18 or more working hours to deal with the request e.g. locating, retrieving, extracting the information. which would cost the respondent at least £450 charging at £25 per hour.. If you could please let me know whether or not it may take 18 or more working hours to provide the information, so that I am able to send a fee note to the requester, as appropriate.
Kind regards,
Legal Services Officer Legal Services.
