Our response:
Whilst our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find some of the information that you have requested, as this information is not recorded.
I have detailed below the information that is held.
“1. How many jobs does this figure include for can you please send me the build up to the estimate”
In relation to the information previously supplied in response to the Freedom of Information request ref. 4429413, this relates to 21 new jobs, with an estimated indirect return of £212,580 per annum, which equates to an estimated total indirect return of £704,846 over the life of the investments.
“2. Hoe many of these people relocated here?”
The Department does not hold specific information on the total number of employees
who may have relocated, and how this correlates to the total number of jobs.
However, in order to be of assistance, by cross referencing the applications for
financial support which specifically provided an element of relocation incentive, this
indicates that 12 individuals relocated to the Island.
“3. What is the estimated cost on services of these people who were relocated here?
-
Of the people who relocated here how many have families that have come with them?
-
What is the potential long term affect on pensions / care home needs if Government covering costs.”
In respect of requests 3, 4 and 5, as shown above, the Department does not hold the information requested.
