Dear Ms Allen
Thank you for your email of 16 June asking, under the Freedom of
Information Act, for details of whether the Department of Health or any of
its divisions and departments, or any persons acting on their
instructions, had ever made any monetary payments of any kind to the
administrators of the Clostridium difficile UK internet support site,
[1]http://www.cdiff-support.co.uk/,or any other persons nominated by the
administrators to act on their behalf.
I can confirm that searches have established that no such payments have
been made.
I hope that this is helpful. 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:
Head of the Freedom of Information Team

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply
directly to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) for a decision.
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
complaints procedure provided by the Department. The ICO can be contacted
at:
