Hospital Insurance Claims (FOI)

Produced by the Freedom of Information office
Authored by Government of Jersey and published on 29 September 2021.
Prepared internally, no external costs.

Request

Please confirm the number, type, and value of all Hospital Insurance claims from 1 January 2017 up to 1 August 2021.

Please include claims made for buildings, hospital equipment, by individuals or any other claims.

Response

It has been concluded that the information, as requested, is not held in recorded form. The request is broad and to answer the request, the data would need to be extracted from various sources and manipulated. Aside from taking far more than the prescribed 12.5 hours to do that work, the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data in order to provide a response. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.

Article applied

Article 16 - A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations.

Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014 allows an authority to refuse a request for information where the estimated cost of dealing with the request would exceed the specified amount of the cost limit of £500. This is the estimated cost of one person spending 12.5 working hours in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information.
