Freedom of Information request statistics
We publish details of how we perform in responding to Freedom of Information (FOI) and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) requests. This performance data provides an overview of the number of requests received and how many are responded to within the statutory time period, if information was disclosed and the number of requests referred for an internal review.
Data is published quarterly and we aim to publish a month after the end of each quarter to enable us to capture the outcomes for all requests made during that time period.
