Devon County Council believes compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. This is because in order to comply with this request for information we would have to carry out manual checks of all of the relevant files, as this information would be recorded in a free text field, if at all.
