Re:FOI/803

Further to your request for information regarding referrals of patients with suspected cancer.

Currently the Trust does not use Choose and Book for referrals of patients with suspected cancer.

A pilot to use C&B for 2ww breast referrals will commence 1 August 2010 with the aim of extending to other areas receiving 2ww cancer referrals.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to:

Megan Turmezei, Assistant Director of Governance, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headley Way, Headington, Oxford OX3 9DU.

Should you wish to make a complaint and are not happy with the outcome, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the internal complaints procedure. The ICO can be contacted at:
The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF
