Dear Mr Brown

 

Thank you for your request for information from Airedale NHS Foundation
Trust which was received on 7^th February 2020.  Your request has been
given the Reference Number ANHSFT REF  4739. 

 

We will now proceed to process the request.  The deadline date for issuing
you with a full response is  5^th March 2020.   We will try to respond to
you before this date and we will contact you if we envisage delays or if
we need more information from you.

 

Please note that under the Freedom of Information Act, some information
can be subject to exemptions, which means that the Trust does not have to
provide the information requested.  Some exemptions are “absolute” such as
personal information and some only apply where the “public interest” in
maintaining the exemption, outweighs that of providing the information.

 

In some cases, where identifying, retrieving and processing the requested
information requires more time than the “appropriate cost limit” of two
and half days work, we may refuse the request or we can charge a fee.  If
the latter is the case, I will let you know and a Fees Notice will be
issued to you.  In that case you would need to pay the fee before we
proceeded with your request,  but we will offer assistance and advise you
if, by modifying your request, we could provide you with some non-exempt
or free of charge information.

 

Please contact me, quoting the Reference Number above, with any questions
you might have about your request.

 

With kind regards

Dear Mr Brown

 

Further to your application to access information under the Freedom of
Information Act (ANHSFT REF. 4739) please find our response below.

 

We have no specific policies in place.  As the fertility clinic is part of
the Gynaecology specialism, male patients are not referred.  As treatment
for men is not currently funded, our staff assume they seek treatment
privately but this is not recorded information.

 

We trust you find our response helpful.  If you feel we are not complying
with our publication scheme, you feel your request has not been properly
handled, or you are dissatisfied, you can write within 40 working days to
Brendan Brown, Chief Executive at the address below to request a review. 
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner under
section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 if you are dissatisfied
with the outcome of that review.

 

Unless identified as another party's copyright, you may use and re-use the
information we have provided (not including logos or photographs), free of
charge in any format or medium, under the terms of the Open Government
Licence which can be viewed via the link below.
