This total is very low and the individuals concerned could therefore potentially be identified if this information is released. Idenfification of the individuals concerned would be unfair to them and would therefore be a breach of the first data protection principle. This information is therefore exempt from disclosure pursuant to s.40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
