Dear Mr Johnson

Re: Freedom of Information Internal review

Ref No: 161

I am writing to confirm that the PCT has now completed an internal review
of the decision given in reference to your Freedom of Information request
dated 26 December 2008.

Following the internal review the PCT has reached the following
conclusion:

NHS Central Lancashire does not hold generic e-mail addresses for General
Practices within its area. The only email addresses held by NHS Central
Lancashire are for individual practice members of staff. As our GP
Practices are independent contractors and not members of staff employed
directly by NHS Central Lancashire this information would need to be
obtained from them directly.

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply
directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision. Generally,
the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints
procedure provided by NHS Central Lancashire. The ICO can be contacted at:
The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

If you have any queries about this letter, please do not hesitate to
contact me and quote the reference number 161 in any future
communications.

Yours sincerely
