Dear Mr/Ms Speers
Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
With apologies for the delay in responding, I am writing to you further to your
request for information about:
ļ±
Investigations by CHI, HCC and CQC and secondments to Strategic
Health Authority in the past three years
The Trust has examined the records it holds and I can confirm the following
answers to your questions.
The Trust was issued with an Improvement Notice concerning the Hygiene
Code by the Healthcare Commission in July 2007 which was lifted in
December 2007. However, the Notice did not result from an investigation, but
from a routine inspection. The Trust has not been subject to any
investigations by the Healthcare Commission or Care Quality Commission
other than the routine regulatory reporting and review requirements.
The Trust has not seconded any staff to the Strategic Health Authority.
I trust that I have dealt with your request to your satisfaction. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries or if I can be of further
assistance.
This information has been held by the Trust for its own purposes and is
published to you pursuant to the Trustās obligations under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. Any further use or publication by you of this material is
at your own risk and it is your responsibility to check the accuracy and
appropriateness of the material for your purposes.
If you have any concerns about the response you have received, you may
request that the Trust undertakes an independent review of your request. You
can do this by contacting our complaints department at the above address. If,
after this process, you are still not satisfied with the response you receive, you
can contact the Information Commissioner at
Wycliffe House

Finally, I enclose an evaluation form which I would be very grateful if you
could complete and return to me so that we can continually improve our
Publication Scheme and the way that we deal with requests for information
under the Freedom of Information Act.
Yours sincerely
Alison Macdonald
Board Secretary
