Dear Mr Smith

I am sorry that you do not believe we have given you a complete response
to your initial request which asked for was

' details such as relevant policies and all e-mail
correspondence, but not any
clinical information, relating to the questioning by your trust of
the eligibility to NHS treatment of Mr Pun VC'.

I would like to reiterate that the questioning of Mr Pun and his
representatives was conducted by way of a verbal interview by our member
of staff in order to establish his eligibility to NHS treatment. The
follow-up conversations with the Home Office and Department of Health
were conducted over the telephone.

You now appear to have now broadened your FOI request beyond the
specific issue of the 'questioning by our Trust of the eligibility to
NHS treatment of Mr Pun VC'.

I can confirm that the Trust received some email correspondence
following the articles in the national newspapers but we would not be
able to disclose these as they are subject to the Data Protection Act
(i.e. they contain personal information about individuals). However, we
have now provided you with a copy of the response sent to the
letters/emails of complaint by our Chief Executive.

Yours sincerely
Corporate Affairs
