Information regarding the SCR/TPP Project: May 2009

Dr Neil Bhatia made this Freedom of Information request to Manchester Teaching Primary Care Trust

The request was successful.

From: Dr Neil Bhatia

30 May 2009

Dear Manchester PCT

I would like to make further requests under the FOI Act regarding
the SCR rollout.

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 Summary Care Record Project/Programme Board meeting held
between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

• Please could you kindly send me the minutes (draft or otherwise)
of any Summary Care Record Project (or Project Implementation) Team
meeting held between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

• Please could you kindly send me any Summary Care Record Highlight
Reports, Update Reports or Progress Reports created or updated
between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

• Please could you send me any Summary Care Record Risk Logs, Issue
Logs, Lessons Learned Logs or Decision Logs created or updated
between 01.05.09 and 31.05.09.

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 Dr Bhatia

I can confirm in writing you that I have established that the
information you requested is not held.

As stated in response to your last request this is because no project to
set up the Summary Care Record in Manchester Primary Care Trust has yet
been established.

I am reattaching the two documents that were sent to you previously for
your perusal.

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to
your original letter and should be addressed to:
[email address]

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of any internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire,
SK9 5AF

Yours sincerely

Nicola Lowe
