Choose & Book - number of bookings & achievement under LES

Dear Hampshire PCT

Thank you very much for all your previous responses.

I would like to make further requests under the FOI Act regarding
Choose & Book in Hampshire.

For the purposes of the Act, the date of your receipt of this
request will be 1st June.

My request relates to the 127 GP practices in HPCT OTHER THAN the
21 practices comprising "Rushmoor & Hart". I have requested details
of these 21 practices in a separate FOI request.

You kindly responded to a previous request about these practices:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ch...

With regards to the HPCT Local Enhanced Service (LES) for Choice
and Booking 2008-2009
(www.neilb.demon.co.uk/download/HPCT LES CaB 0809.pdf), and of the
110 practices that signed up to component 1:

• Please could you now indicate how many practices attained "80%
achievement" (or more)
• Please could you now indicate how many practices attained "70%
achievement"
• Please could you now indicate how many practices attained "60%
achievement"
• Please could you now indicate how many practices attained less
than "60% achievement"

As per Section 4a of Part 1 of the FOI Act
(
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukp...
) I would like the information in question held at the time when my
request is received (draft or otherwise), except that account may
be taken of any amendment or deletion made between now and the
latest time by which the information is to be communicated to me,
being an amendment or deletion that would have been made regardless
of the receipt of my request.

I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to send me the
requested information promptly and in any event not later than the
twentieth working day following the date of receipt of my request -
that is by then end of the working day of 29th June.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, or specific items
within the responses are withheld from disclosure, then you must
justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the
act, as per Section 17 of the Act
(
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukp...
). Where you rely on a qualified exemption to withhold disclosure,
you are obliged to consider the public interest in your decision
and the refusal notice must explain not only which exemption
applies and why, but also the public interest arguments addressed
in reaching the decision.

I wish to receive the information by email; I believe such a
request would be reasonable in these circumstances. As per Section
11 of Part 1 of the FOI Act (
http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukp...
) I would be grateful if you would "so far as reasonably
practicable give effect to that preference"; if you determine that
it is not reasonably practicable to comply with this preference
then you are required by law to notify me of the reasons for your
determination.

The “return address” (to which the information that I have
requested be should be sent ) is the email address that this
particular request originates from (i.e. ending in
'@whatdotheyknow.com').

I would be grateful if you would kindly acknowledge receipt of this
request as recommended by the ICO (“It would be good practice to
acknowledge receipt of requests and to refer to the 20 working day
time limit, so that applicants know their request is being dealt
with”).

Thank you once again.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Neil Bhatia
