Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000 request

Dear Mr Lewis,

Thank you for your request, which we received on 12 March 2010, regarding alternative cancer treatment. Please find below the response to your enquiries.

Could you tell me how much Liverpool Primary Care Trust has been spending on this alternative cancer treatment over the past five years?

I can confirm that within Liverpool Community Health, Iscador is a prescription only medicine and the information you require will be held by the Prescription Pricing Authority, NHS Business Services Authority, you can contact them by following this link

If you are not satisfied with the information you have been provided with, make a complaint or wish to request an internal review you should write to Anne Thompson, FOI Appeals Officer, at the above address. This should be done within a reasonable period of time from receiving this response.

If you are not satisfied with our review under the Freedom of Information Act, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner's Office cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted our complaints procedure. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the above address.

Yours sincerely,
