Q  Full details of the IT purchasing lead? 
 
The Associate Director Information Services, who leads on IT purchasing, reports directly to the Chief 
Operating Officer. 
 
The NPSA regularly provide structure charts in response to FOI requests but due to DPA we are not 
able to include names and details relating to individual members of staff.  Please let me know if you 
would like the chart. 
 
 
I hope that this information is helpful to you, please let me know if you require further clarification. 
 
If you are unhappy about the way in which your request has been handled, the NPSA has an internal 
complaints procedure through which you can raise any concerns.  Further details of this procedure 
may be obtained by contacting the Complaints Manager.  If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of 
the complaints procedure, you can apply to the Information Commission, who will consider whether we 
as a public authority have complied with its obligations under the Act, and can require NPSA to 
remedy any problems.  You can find out more about how to do this, and about the Act in general, on 
their website www.ico.gov.uk.  Complaints should be sent to: 
 
FOI Complaints Resolution - Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, 
Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF 
 
 
Yours sincerely
