Dear Department of Health,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Department of Health's handling of my FOI request 'Copy of report'.

Please note this request for internal review relates to all the documents made in separate requests i.e. follows the format of your response.

It is not practical to expect publicly available reports to be sources via a number of separate archive searches. The DoH holds the information and it is open to you to make these important reports available electronically. The subject matter is of crucial important and it will be of public benefit to disclose the reports. The report you refer to in the publication is not in fact in this publication already. I fail to understand why you have adopted this approach, and what the alleged downside of published the reports electronically in full would be. I note there is considerable current interest in 'historic' child abuse and your refusal to provide these reports electronically runs wholly contrary to openness and learning in this importance sphere.

I would be grateful if you could review accordingly.

Polly

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
