Dear Kimara Sharpe,

I acknowledge receipt of your refusal notice.
Of the organisations who have responded across acute Trusts and CCG's, you are the first to offer such a refusal.
For your awareness, the questions were created with the support of a local acute Trust. It was felt that their organisation would be able to support quick responses well within the reasonable efforts without needing to invoke a refusal or charge as the questions posed relate to working knowledge withing each targeted department. Further information would also be part of normal operational reporting, be allocated in budgets, and may already be in the public domain to refer me to.
I will consider if an escalation to your chief executive is appropriate when I have a completed reviewing the remaining response from the other organisations I have contacted.

Yours sincerely,

Clive Townsend
