FOI Request

Hello, I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Can you please provide the following information: How much in total was spent by maternity departments you are responsible for, for each calendar year dating back to 2016? Including: - all staffing, - equipment - other costs The preference is for calendar years, but if the information is more easily recovered by financial years and converting to calendar years would make the request exceed the Section 12 cost limit, delivering the data by financial year is fine thanks. Likewise, if it would exceed the Section 12 cost limit to extract data beyond a certain year, providing data for as many years as would not exceed the limit would also be fine. If you have any questions about this request, or believe it's likely to be refused in its current form, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss potential solutions, as per your Section 16 obligations. Many thanks
