Dear Mr Parsons

 

Thank you for your email dated 26^th June 2018 requesting information
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am now in a position to
respond to your questions as follows:

 

1.         How many people are employed to deal with FOI?

 

            The Complaints and FOI Team consists of 1 Complaints/FOI
Manager and 3 Complaints/FOI officers.  Please note that these staff are
not solely employed to         process FOI requests and their duties also
include handling all Corporate and Social Care complaints for the Council.

 

2.         What is the budget for administering FOI?

            There is no separate budget for the administration of FOIs as
this falls within the overall budget for the Complaints and FOI Team and
is not broken down into        separate categories.  

 

3.         Do you use case management software for FOI? If so, which one?

            No

 

4.         Do you publish a disclosure log?

            No.
