don't be silly, you surely understand better than that.
Apparently according to Google (may be wrong) each FOI is a couple of hundred quid in costs each.
There are 13 FOI's there....

What is silly about it?
Do FOI's not incur costs somewhere?
I was going by average costs... They may well be less, but I was just going by average like Google said (I did state that).

It isn't the trust paying it, it is the tax payer (according to google).

It is the tax payer, the trust have now cost the tax payer a few minutes of each councils time and the price of printing the letters and posting them, shocking. But you've got to keep up the sisu defence making the other side look bad at every opportunity.

Come on. This is multiple times worse than costing the taxpayers thousands and thousands in defending expensive litigation. Only a council appologist would think otherwise.

How much taxpayers money has been spent?

I am not defending anybody, I could have told you the answers to the FOI before it was even sent
But if you say it is the price of a letter and then posting them you must be right and all the links I have posted saying otherwise are wrong.
I guess I was giving you too much credit when I said not to be silly and you understand better than that.
none of the links you posted remotely suggest that these requests are expensive.

Didn't SISU pay for the councils fees?
Could be worse, it could be thousands and thousands to a PR company I guess.
They are being paid any way so what's it matter? That's not my logic by the way and I'm not saying this causes more disruption than a court case either...Plus countless hours in time and effort. Still its not like the council have anything else better to do.
Can you post me one that says each request is just done by a temp in an office on minimum wage within a couple of minutes and then posted out then? To be fair you could be right about them being done like that at CCC, hence they don't send them out correct
I am always happy to be corrected on anything I post. (which does happen a fair bit so I have to be)
I am no expert on it, I don't claim to be I just found a document giving the average price for a FOI....
How much are they then?
I assume you know or it will be you looking pretty silly.
So you don't know how much? I don't doubt there are some that take weeks and cost thousands abd thousands and I'm obviously not saying these did...I don't disagree that the average price of an FOI request is £300 or whatever the link says, but that number is utterly meaningless when wondering how much these FOI requests cost. It's incredibly obvious that these requests cost almost nothing, it's an easy question for them to answer, Your link says that 5% of FOI requests amount for 45% of the costs and that the average foi request takes 8 hours to deal with. You can't possibly think these took anything more than a few minutes
They are being paid any way so what's it matter? That's not my logic by the way and I'm not saying this causes more disruption than a court case either...
no I won't. All they had to do was read a letter, find out the answer to a simple question they almost certainly already know the answer to and reply to the letter, it's 30 mins job at the worst. The actual cost will include that persons time so it's quite possible they would consider it about £20.
So would you rather council employees were spending their time and effort on SISU or child services?
Oh don't be stupid.
Aside from the fact I wasn't asking you, you started it.
Of course..... Although bringing child services into it is a bit harsh isn't it? Especially with cccs record.So would you rather council employees were spending their time and effort on SISU or child services?
So you don't know how much?
So you don't actually know then.
Fucking hell.
Of course..... Although bringing child services into it is a bit harsh isn't it? Especially with cccs record.
(Of course I don't, I think child services should be one of the things at the top of the list)
If you seriously think that anyone involved in child support services will be involved in preparing legal background work to defend against a judicial review you are stupid.
When I said they are being paid anyway I was referring to a post earlier on on the threadSo what you're saying then is that it does matter what these people who are being paid anyway are being paid to do. I'm glad I could help you see sense. You're welcome.
I would hope that dealing with SISU would be at the bottom of any sensible persons list of what local authority employees should do next.
yes I know they were nothing like £300 each. I don't know the exact cost and never for a second suggested I did.
I don't understand you guys at all, am I really giving you too much credit when I assume you don't believe the nonsense you are spouting? I give up it's like trying to have a reasonable debate with a toddler.
