* Indicates information not held as Health and Social Care could only be added as part of an appeal from April 2018
** Indicates information which is not held. To extract this information would require an individual review of each ECHP. For example, in the 2014-15 period, 3,572 ECHPS were issued. Allowing for, say 15 minutes per plan, this would take 893 hours for this financial year alone. This is in excess of the appropriate time limit and therefore, pursuant to s.12 of the Freedom of Information Act, we are not obliged to provide you with this information
*** We should clarify that not all EHCPs in the January count would have a review in the year to date as some may have ceased and some are still awaiting the annual review meeting date
