Regulation 3 Request for information

A local social services authority shall not be obliged under regulation 2 to inform an individual or to give access to any information, except in response to a request in writing and on payment of such fee (not exceeding £10) as they may require; but a request under both sub-paragraphs of regulation 2(1) shall be treated as a single request and a request to be informed under sub-paragraph (a) of regulation 2(1) shall, in the absence of any indication to the contrary, be treated as extending also to being given access to any personal information under sub-paragraph (b).
