Response
The Council is unable to easily retrieve this information however the officer confirmed through knowledge that there have been no diagnosis of fabricated induced illness in cases over the past 5 yrs. As this would require a manual scrutiny of records Scottish Borders Council has considered your request and concluded that the cost of complying with it would be more than 600. Under S12 (1) of FOISA 2002 Scottish Borders Council is not obliged to comply with a request that is estimated to exceed this cost.
