This information is exempt from disclosure under Section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act (Information Intended for Future Publication).
Devon County Council can confirm the requested information is held but is intended for future publication by the DHSC. Given the publication date is in line with accepted practices, it is reasonable to withhold this information.
The Council has considered the public interest in releasing this information and recognises there is a public interest in openness and transparency. However, it is not reasonable to divert resources from core functions to release this information in advance of its planned publication date and therefore, the balance of public interest weighs in favour of withholding this information from disclosure at this time.
