Future Hospital project minutes (FOI)

Request

Please supply minutes and list of attendees of all Future Hospital Project Board meetings from inception to date. Please include any associated documents from these meetings.

Response

Due to the volume of records and associated documents, it would not be possible to fulfil your request within the 12.5 hours allowed for Freedom of Information responses in accordance with Regulation 2 (1) of the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014.

However, your request has highlighted a wider public interest case for the publication of the Future Hospital Project Board minutes.

The Project Board has, therefore, considered that in the public interest they will commit to publishing the minutes of the Future Hospital Project Board via the Open Data section of www.gov.je within the next 12 weeks. This section can be located using the following link.

Articles 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.

Article 36 Information intended for future publication

(1) Information is qualified exempt information if, at the time when the request for the information is made, the information is being held by a public authority with a view to its being published within 12 weeks of the date of the request.
