Response
This information is not held in a form that would enable it to be located, retrieved and extracted within the Appropriate Time Limit which equates to 18 hours as defined by the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limits and Fees) Regulations 2004.
The level of breakdown requested is not held by HR/Payroll and as the payments are not made per appointment we cannot derive this from the ledger. To be able to accurately obtain this level of data we would need to review every payment to determine which appointment it relates to. For the period requested, there are 73,808 lines of data that would need to be analysed, taking an average of 1 minute per line.
This would at a conservative estimate take at least 1,230 hours to complete. Where the Limit is exceeded Public Authorities are not obliged to supply the information requested by virtue of S12 of the Act. Please take this letter as a refusal notice under S17 of the Act.
The Service Area have advised that they could answer questions 1,2,3,4,6 and 7 within the limit. If you wish for us to collate this information please do let me know.
