Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you ever so much for this response. I have sent a request to Rotherham Doncaster and South Humber NHS Foundation Trust as recommended.

I have a question. I am rather confused that the response provided was in relation to 'Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group', rather than 'Doncaster Primary Care Trust'. As far as I was aware, CCGs were due to come into statutory form from April 2013 (Ref: http://www.dh.gov.uk/health/2012/05/auth...).

As I am sure you are aware, CCGs are not yet subject to FOI requests (eg. the statement on NHS Berkshires website: http://www.berkshirewest.nhs.uk/page.asp...).

Would you be able to clarify this?

Yours sincerely,

Michelle

Dear Michelle

 

We are currently Doncaster PCT, however we have been instructed to use the
title Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group as we are currently a shadow
board.  

 

I hope this clarifies the situation

 

Kind regards,
