Corporate Services Division Department of Education, Sport and Culture Hamilton House Peel Road, Douglas IM1 5EZ Telephone: (01624) 685808 Website: www.gov.im/dec Email: dec@foi.gov.im Our ref: 850068 8 July 2019 Dear ###, We write further to your request which was received on 10 June 2019 and which states: "For the five years prior to the sale of the Nunnery could you detail the running and maintenance costs of the building (excluding any staffing costs) and detail how this expenditure was reallocated subsequent to the sale of the building." Running and maintenance costs of the Nunnery for five years While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Department does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find some of the information that you have requested. As of the 2012-13 financial year the operation was transferred to the then Isle of Man College and the operational and maintenance costs were included in the College’s budget, therefore the same breakdown is not available for the three years prior to the sale of the Nunnery. However by way of advice and assistance the following estimated costs incurred by the college were calculated for a three year period in response to a Tynwald question in May 2016: Nunnery Expenditure 12/13 13/14 14/15 Direct Costs incurred by College Rates £14,300 £14,600 £15,200 Gas £16,500 £14,200 £18,400 Electricity £18,200 £20,600 £20,800 Cleaning - Nunnery £15,900 £15,600 £15,600 Cleaning- Stable Block £7,000 £7,600 £7,000 Misc. £8,100 £6,500 £3,500 Waste £1,100 £1,600 £1,500 Estates Costs £158,700 £57,800 £32,900 Total £239,800 £138,500 £114,900 I have detailed below the information that is held. The Freedom of Information Act 2015 only applies to information created on or after 11 October 2011 therefore the information requested for the financial year 2010-11 would normally be exempt. However by way of advice and assistance the actual year to date building and operating costs for the Nunnery for the financial years 2010-11 and 2011-12 are attached to this response. Reallocated expenditure following the sale of the Nunnery While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the Department does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find some of the information that you have requested. As it is not possible to specifically identify how the funding was reallocated following the sale of the Nunnery. Please quote the reference number 850068 in any future communications.
