Yes2.Where is CCTV installed at East Surrey Hospital? We are withholding this information under Section 31(1) (a) of the Act (law enforcement) which covers all aspects of the prevention and detection of crime.

Dear Geoff Lovell
I am sorry that you are dissatisfied with our response to your Freedom of

to a relevant senior manager so that they may review our handling of your
request.
We will write to you within 20 working days to advise you of the outcome
of the review.
If we believe our original request was correct, we will explain why we
consider this so.
Should you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you would
have the right to appeal to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
However, I should point out that under section 50(2)(a) of the Freedom of

have already completed an internal review.
