Under FOISA s 12(1), NHS Shetland is not obliged to comply with a request if the estimated cost of doing so exceeds £600. Having reviewed Question 2, NHS Shetland has determined that the cost of compliance would exceed £600 and so is unable to provide the information requested; we have provided a breakdown of the estimated costs below:

3107 files x 30 minutes each = 93210 minutes / 60 = 1553.5 hours x £15 per hour = £32,302.50
