Response
I enclose a copy of the information you requested.
For the purposes of responding to this request I have interpreted that the term 'FoI' refers both to requests and reviews received under FOI(S)A and the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRS).
In the last year we have made a significant overhaul and refinement of our approach to recording and tracking FOI case data. As a result of this, our data is more accurate and we are attaching our most up to date figures.
Please note that any data released historically was reflective of what was held at that time. Any differences between historic release and the updated data provided in this request are a result of a combination of the above noted factors and our request system being dynamic, with historic figures updated to accurately reflect any cases since added.
