Request

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from the council. Please may you provide me with:
•    The total number of investigations opened into "deprivation of assets", where someone deliberately reduces their assets in order to avoid paying care fees 
I would like the data presented in a table or spreadsheet depending on what is easiest.

I would like the data broken down for the last five years with a year-end date of 5 April or whichever year-end is most convenient.

If you cannot provide data for each of these years, then please provide data for the most recent three years.
