Response
It has been estimated that to provide full month by month statistics for the period from 2017 to 2022 would exceed the timescales prescribed in the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. However, in order to provide as much information as possible, statistics for 2017 – 2019 are provided as annual totals. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been partly applied.
The statistics for each year are provided in the attached document.
