Young people in care 2016-2017

How many young people entered the care of your authority from 1st April 2016 to 31st March 2017?

330

How many of the number of young people that entered the care of your authority from 1st April 2016 to 31st March 2017, had their emotional and mental health assessed by a registered medical practitioner on entry to the care of your authority? 

We do hold this information but to locate, extract and collate it would mean a manual review of all 330 records. At approximately ten minutes for each record this would take a total of approximately 55 hours.

Under the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 public authorities are not obliged to comply with requests which exceed the cost limit of £450 (equating to 18 hours of time).  For this reason we believe that Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act applies (cost of compliance exceeds the appropriate limits).
