Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
The top 10 longest waits for currently outstanding FOIs, including information about the department handling it and subject of the FOI.
Response
I enclose a copy of the information you have requested. Please note, the information provided represents the status of cases on the date of receipt of your request, 15 July 2024.
As at the date of your request we only held 2 live cases on our system that have passed their statutory deadline date and at the time of your request were still awaiting a response. To provide a top 10 as requested we have populated this with 8 further cases that had yet to reach their 20 working day legislative timescale.
The number of days quoted is from the date of receipt and therefore includes the 20 days allowed under legislation.
For the purposes of responding to this request I have interpreted that the term 'FoIs' refers both to requests and reviews received under FOI(S)A and the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRS).
