Dear Mr McCloy,

In reply to your e-mail sent to my colleague Mr Peter Moran this afternoon I would confirm that I am currently working on a response to your request for information from the Health and Social Care Board in Northern Ireland. Can I firstly apologise for the delay in providing you with a response, I realise the twenty working day deadline has now passed.

Unfortunately because of developments with another request, which is asking for similar information to that in your request, I have been asked to seek an opinion from our Legal Services Provider on the release of this information. As the outcome of this legal advice could have a bearing on how we answer your request can I ask for your agreement to an extension of the timescales to respond to your request.

If you are agreeable, I hope to have a response with you by Tuesday 9th March. Once again can I offer my apologies for the delay in this matter.

Yours sincerely

Ken Moore

Dear Mr McCloy,

Thank you for your continued patience in this matter. As you will see in my response letter the HSCB has not released copies of the CMR Executive Summaries at this current point in time. This is due to an ongoing assessment being conducted by the ICO as to whether the HSCB breached an individual's rights under Data Protection by releasing one of the CMR Summary reports a number of weeks ago in response to a similar FOI request. Unfortunately the ICO was unable to reach a decision in time for my response to you however it is our intention to publish this information at a future date once the outcome of the ICO assessment has been made.

Should you wish to seek an internal review of this decision please come back to me and I will arrange for it to be undertaken.

Yours sincerely
