Dear HM Prison Service,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of HM Prison Service's handling of my FOI request 'Consultation over PSI 2011-007'.

In response to item 1, the list of organisations given is different to that given in response to a parliamentary question by Caroline Lucas, MP. (15th March 2011, Column 189W). Please can you investigate this discrepancy and confirm which list is correct.

In response to item 2, you state that the information requested is not held and suggest contacting the Department of Health. As the original question related to the applicability of Prison Service policy to a certain group of individuals, it is not clear on what basis this statement is made, nor why the Department of Health would be able to advice on Prison Service policy. Please can you provide more detail on this response.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:

Yours faithfully,

Zoe O'Connell
