Response
ESSH does not hold a static record of people on the Foundations waiting list. Therefore, the information for the dates requested, 1st June 2024 to 30th November 2025, is not held.
Under Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011, information is only considered “held” by a public authority if it exists in recorded form and is held by, or on behalf of, that authority.
Therefore:
• Question 1: Information not held, Article 3 applies
• Question 2: Information not held, Article 3 applies
• Question 3: Information not held, Article 3 applies
Article applied
