Council Expenditure or Payment to Suppliers from 1st January 2019 to Current

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Northumberland County Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Northumberland County Council,

I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information act for all transactions over £500 from 1st January 2019 to Current. As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value and recipient of each transaction.

If it would help, I am specifically looking for payments to suppliers who provide a service in Health and Social Care. This would include all suppliers falling under the categories :-

1. Payments to suppliers who provide fostering and adoption services to the Council
2. Payments to suppliers who provide care services to the council. This would include suppliers who provide care under each of below -
a. Children's Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
b. Adult Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
c. Elderly Residential/ Nursing Care Providers
d. Domiciliary Care Home Providers
e. Supported Living Care Home Providers
f. Care at Home Providers
g. Providers who carry out Homeless Services
3. Payments to suppliers who provide Special Education Services

In particular I am looking for itemized transactions (i.e., at the daily level) for suppliers - preferably in CSV format. I look forward to the information at the earliest.

Thank You,
Yours Faithfully,
Nikhil Prabhu

Dear Enquirer,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST 

I refer to your Freedom of Information request for details of payments to
suppliers.
Right of Access 

Section 1(1) of the Act provides any person making a request for
information to a public authority is entitled. 

(a) to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds
information of the description specified in the request (which Section
1(6) of the Act designates as the "duty to confirm or deny"), and 

(b) if that is the case, to have that information communicated to him. 

The right is to obtain access to the information itself and not to the
document or record which contains it. 

The Act creates a general right of access to information held by public
authorities subject to various exemptions. 

Duty to confirm or deny 

The public interest test requires Northumberland County Council to confirm
that we hold information in relation to payments to suppliers.

The Freedom of Information Act sets out various exemptions to the right of
access. 

In the present case the County Council takes the view that the information
relating to your request is exempt under the following provisions; 

Section 21 of the Act states that a public Authority does not need to
provide information under section 1 of the Act if that information is
reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means. 

All payments to suppliers over £250 are published under the transparency
agenda. Payments to suppliers can be downloaded at the following
link [1]http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/About/T...

Notice of Refusal

covered by the Section 21 Exemption.

assistance under Section 16 of the Act. 

Subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, the Council

Dear Northumberland County Council,

Thank you for your response, however, we have checked your website http://www.northumberland.gov.uk/About/T... & find that there are very few to no Fostering related transactions (for eg. Jan has 0). Whereas previous years have several such txns. Hence, it seems the Council has withheld information or does the Council not do Fostering anymore?

Dear Paul Hedley,

Ok Paul, meanwhile, I was wondering is we could extend this request to start from April 2018 instead of Jan 2019?

The reason being, on reviewing data provided by the Council previously for the period April 2017 to December 2018; we found that data was provided only through March 2018 (instead of till Dec 2018). You may review the prior request if you wish -- https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...)

I have updated the previous request to reflect this fact, however, if you could supply us with that data then I can close out that request as well. My apologies for the oversight. So, short, if you could fulfill this current request for the timeperiod April 2018 to Current instead of Jan 2019 to Current; it would be most appreciated!

Thank you so much!
Yours sincerely,
nikhil prabhu

Paul Hedley, Northumberland County Council

Given that I'm slightly late in responding to the request I'm more than

Dear Paul Hedley,

My colleague, Homi, will definitely be calling you, but he is worried that you may not be able answer our queries (on Health & Social Care expenditure) since you are from different department and as such doesn't want the waste your time. I just wanted to give you a heads-up.

PS: I was initially communicating with Ms. Julie of Information Governance at NCC, before the e-mail thread was transferred over to you; so we were wondering if there has been a mistake on routing the FOI messages perhaps! But do expect Homi's call shortly Paul.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Nikhil Prabhu

Hello Paul,

Just to let you know Homi left you a message last week, sorry you were not able to connect & apologies for the delay.

I have just also recd. a response to my old Northumberland request of Feb 2019 https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
And I have also asked them if they could assist with this, as the requests are of similar nature.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Paul Hedley,

Thank you so much for this, however we see that the data is from Nov 2018
instead of April 2018 (per my modified request of 25th Nov & 19th Feb).

May we please request you to include data from April 2018. Apologies for
any inconvenience.

Yours sincerely,

nikhil prabhu

Good morning Nikhil
As I indicated in my last correspondence this has been passed to the FOI
team and I have no further role to play in progressing your request.
I will however re-contact the FOI team and make them aware of your further
request for information. I’m sorry this is dragging on.
Regards
Paul

anything is being progressed. 
I hope you get sorted soon.
Best regards
