We may hold this information but it is not recorded in an easily extractable or reportable format meaning to locate, collate and confirm it would involve the manual examination of hundreds of cases, electronically back to 2014, then manually for the years before that, each one would take a minimum of five minutes, making a total well in excess if the 18 hours specified by the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Section 12 – Cost of Compliance. Therefore this information is exempt.
