Dear Alex Parsons,

 

I refer to your recent FOI regarding FOI administration and can provide
the below information:

members employed to deal solely with FOI.  Managers deal will FOI’s within
their service and within each directorate (of which there are 3 within
Midlothian Council) there is one Performance and Improvement Lead Officer
who has 5% of his/her job description as overseeing responses to Subject
Access Requests and Freedom of Information requests, plus one Performance
and Improvement Officer who has 25% of their job description as preparing
responses to Subject Access requests and Freedom of Information requests.

2. What is the budget for administering FOI? N/A

3. Do you use case management software for FOI? If so, which one? No, when
FOI requests are received they are logged and tracked on our Customer
Relationship Management system.

4. Do you publish a disclosure log? No

 

Kind regards
