Dear Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust,
Do you as a default routinely use Local Anaesthetic for pain relief /Analgesic for ABG/CBG procedures, if not why not?
Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Lovell,
Thank you for your request for information which is now being handled
under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Your request is receiving attention and we will provide a response within
20 working days, that is, by 14 December 2020.
However, the NHS is facing unprecedented challenges relating to the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at the current time. Understandably, our
resources have been diverted to support our front-line colleagues who are
working tremendously hard to provide care for our patients, and to those
in need of our services.
We strive to be transparent and to work with an open culture. But at this
time, whilst care of our patients and the safety of our staff takes
precedent, it is likely that responses to some requests for information
will be delayed. We apologise for this position in advance, and will
endeavour to provide you with as much information as we can, as soon as we
are able.
The Information Commissioners Office has recognised the current situation
in the NHS.
Please contact me if you have any queries in the interim, quoting our
reference (FOI 6252) and I will be happy to help.
Kind regards
Jeanette
