Response

The information as requested is not held in a format for the purpose of Freedom of Information. It has been assessed that any information held would be on individual records and the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data in order to provide a response.   

Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.  

In addition, it is estimated that to interrogate these individual records would far exceed the time limits prescribed under Regulation therefore Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has also been applied.
