Information regarding the SCR/TPP Project: May 2009

Dear SWEssex PCT

Thank you for all your previous responses.

I would like to make further requests under the FOI Act regarding
the SCR Pilot within SWEssex PCT.

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

• Please could you kindly send me the minutes (draft or otherwise)
of any SWEssex PCT Summary Care Record and/or TPP Release 3/4
Project/Programme Board meeting held between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

• Please could you kindly send me any SWEssex PCT SCR
Project/Programme Board Highlight Reports, Update Reports or
Progress Reports created or updated between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

• Please could you kindly send me any SWEssex PCT TPP Release 3/4
Project/Programme Board Highlight Reports, Update Reports or
Progress Reports created or updated between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

• Please could you send me any SWEssex PCT SCR and/or TPP Release
3/4 Project Risk Logs, Issue Logs or Decision Logs created or
updated between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09..09.

• Please could you kindly confirm the total number of SCRs created
and successfully uploaded by GP practices within your PCT as of 1st
June (if still none, please state so).

• Please could you kindly confirm the number of SCRs created and
successfully uploaded by GP practices for children aged under 16yrs
within your PCT as of 1st June (if still none, please state so).

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 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

Dear SWEssex PCT,
