Response

The Trust does hold all of the information you have requested, however we are withholding some of it for the following reasons:

Section 40 – Personal Information

Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) allows public authorities to withhold personal data where it is protected under the Data Protection Act.

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified living individual.

We have therefore withheld the exact number of staff where this is 5 or less (replaced with the <6 symbol), as this could be potentially identifiable and as such is protected from disclosure by Section 40 (2) of the FOI Act.
