Robert - I contacted you to say that we need more precise parameters to
work to to give this information. The term 'chemotherapy' applies to so
many different drug regimes that it would be impossible to create queries
to extract the data. Also, I'm also told that chemotherapy can be
delivered as a daycase, outpatient or sometimes the patients are given a
prescription but don't have the drugs administered on-site. So it's not
straightforward.
Not having heard from you, I propose closing this FoI request but do get
back to me if you can give me more precise criteria to work to.
Regards, Hazel.

They stone-walled me as well - see my question against same NHS Trust. They suggested I got more specific, so I did and they still gave the answer "information not held".
Chemotherapy does not work and their response only serves to reassure us the public that we are right.
Q - How many hospital consultants and GPs actually follow their own advice when it comes to them having cancer?
