Pituitary Foundation

Thank you for your email to the Charity Commission.

We aim to give you a full and clear response within fifteen working days
from receipt of your email. We will ensure that our response is both
accurate and appropriate.

This is the same service standard we apply to letters and faxes but
Charity Commission Direct will usually respond to general email enquiries
within five working days where there is no need for referral to one of our
specialist operational teams.

If we cannot give you a full response within fifteen days, we will contact
you and let you know the reasons why this is not possible and indicate
when we expect to be in a position to give you a full response. We will
also let you have the name and contact number of the person dealing with
your query.

You can find the Commission's contact details on our website at

This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: Freedom of Information request *** Pituitary Foundation *** registered
charity number 1058968

Dear Mr Faeroy and Miss Whitehurst

Thank you for your e-mail of 15^th October re the above.

In your e-mail you have requested all information held on Alison
Whitehurst held by the above charity under the Freedom of Information Act
2000 and under the Data Protection Act 1998 subject access rights.

You have requested that we obtain all relevant information from the
charity on Alison Whitehurst, as you seem to be having a problem getting
access to it.

You are asking for information held by the Pituitary Foundation, not by
the Charity Commission. The Commission does not have access to the
Pituitary Foundation***s records and is therefore unable to provide the
information you request.

It is the Information Commissioner***s Office (ICO) that enforces and
oversees the Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information Act. This
being the case, I can only provide guidance on where to find further
information to help you with your request for information from the
charity.

The ICO web-site provides advice and guidance on their role in more
detail. It also outlines the provisions of the Acts mentioned above
including: what type of information you can request access to, how to
access that information, and how they can help if you are having trouble
accessing it.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 only applies to accessing information
held by public authorities. As the charity is not a public authority; it
is not obliged to disclose information under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000. However, the charity, by law, has to comply with the Data
Protection Act. Further details of what this entails can be found in the
link below.

With the above in mind, I have attached a link to the ICO web-site which
offers further advice and guidance specifically for the public on the
above issues.

I hope this is of assistance.

Any query, please call us on 0845 3000 218.

Yours sincerely
