Make an EIR request
To make an EIR request, complete the online form.
A request must usually be answered within 20 working days of receipt of the request. This may be extended to 40 working days if the request is complex.
Requests under both acts are managed by the Trust's Data Awareness Manager. Our Data Awareness Manager can also provide advice for requesters and staff.
Requests that are solely under the EIR Act will be forwarded to the nominated member of staff (Project Manager Service Development, The Estates and Facilities Department).
