I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request data about any use of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in the schools in your region.

I have provided the questions below:

1) How many schools do you have maintenance responsibility for?

2) How many of those schools (for which you have maintenance responsibility) require/required inspection to determine if RAAC is present?

3) How many of those schools have asbestos? If you do not know the answer to this, please response with 'unsure'.

4) As of September 2023, how many of the schools identified as needing an inspection have been visited by a structural/RAAC expert to determine if RAAC is present?

5) How many of the schools inspected were found to have RAAC?

6) Of the schools where RAAC was present, how many have had the material completely eradicated?

7) To date how much has been spent on RAAC repairs or eradication?
