2. This information is not collated; to get this information we would have to look at every case individually. Given the number of records, looking through them individually would take in excess of 40 hours and this would cost the Council in excess of £600. In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost, we are therefore unable to comply with this part of your request.
