Note 1:
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) does not require public authorities to create data in response to a request. To provide this information the Trust would be required to review the individual medical incident record to review the individual’s medical record and if required, contact other Trusts to verify information regarding ECT, Serious Incidents, Restraints, Seclusion or Medication Errors. We have estimated that to provide information specific to your request would take over 18 Hours, therefore Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act would apply. This section does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for information if the authority estimated that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit of 18 hours, equating to £450.00.
