Dear M Hesketh,

Re: Your Freedom of Information Act request

Thank you for your e-mail of 20 April 2011.

In your request you have asked for the following information under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000:

"For the benefit of academic research in medico-crime, I am trying to find
out whether any of the former patients of Dr. Benjamin Deodhar have
applied for funding in civil claims relating to this doctor sexually
assaulting patients.

Can you please tell me if anyone has applied to the LSC for funding for a
civil claim against this doctor and/or: Lincolnshire Primary Care Trust;
or Lincolnshire Health Authority in relation to this doctor?

It would be helpful if you could state how many claimants there are/were."

I write to acknowledge that we are dealing with your request under the
terms of the Act and will provide a response as soon as possible and no
later than 24 May 2011.

Please note the above reference and log number which should be quoted in
