Request
Could you send me copies of any audit reports, inspection reports and correspondence with Russell Hume regarding any of their sites related to 2018, 2017 & 2016?
Response
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide most of the information you have requested because exemptions under sections 25 (1) (Information otherwise accessible) and 34(1)(b) (Investigations by Scottish public authorities and proceedings arising out of such investigations) of FOISA applies to that information.
Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. The link below will take you to our published audit reports and there is one for Russell Hume which is titled ‘1741 - Russell Hume Ltd -March 2017’.
