Dear Chris

Further to your request under the Freedom of Information Act.

We are not clear what you require within your request when you ask us ' who is responsible for the Clinical Governance of the medical supplies'. Please could you elaborate on this request.

Your request has now been placed on hold and therefore the response date is subject to change. When I receive the clarification I will inform you of the new completion date.

Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Patricia,

Thank you for your response.

By Clinical Governance, I am referring to the person or persons (it can be an external company or organisation) who takes operational responsibility for the medical training of your crew members and for the medical kits on your appliances being compliant with the latest regulations and guidelines. Other Fire & Rescue Services are allied with their local Ambulance Services for this or employ an external third party company. Please can you tell me who does this role for Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service?

Hope this helps.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Parkinson

FOI, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service

Dear Chris
