Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.22.023439

I note you seek access to the following information:

Could you please provide me with a similar but updated response to a previous FoI [Ref: 01/FOI/20/013498] showing how many individual cases were taken on that were referred by the Royalty and Specialist Protection and at what level of concern were these cases categorised.

Please provide the information for the period 01.01.2021 to 31.12.2021.

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

For the period 01/1/2021 to 31/12/2021- 170 referrals were taken on by FTAC from RASP.

The level of concern, at point of referral to FTAC, was as follows:

High – 10
Medium – 128
Low - 32

Please note the referral data relates only to referrals received by FTAC from RASP and which were then taken on. They do not represent the overall referrals received by FTAC.

Additionally, there may be some small anomalies with the figures shown due to the way our systems operate. The referral figures are only accurate at the time the system searches are run. Referral dates on the system used can be overwritten if a case is re-opened. This means if another search was run on the system at a later date, the figures for the same requested time period could differ.
