Dear FOIRequest,
I'm not seeing meeting minutes for the Antimicrobial Management Group. Do you have those or not?
Yours sincerely,
Pero Mandiloski
Dear FOIRequest,
Also we need minutes for the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust's Division of Anaesthetics, Surgery and Critical Care Drugs and Therapeutics Committee. Not the minutes from the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust's Division of Anaesthetics, Surgery and Critical Care Drugs and Therapeutics Committee. Can you send those as well.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Pero Mandiloski
Dear Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Information request - Committee Meeting Minutes at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust'.
I note that you have not confirmed or denied whether the authority holds this information, and have not applied an exemption that would remove this obligation.
As you may be aware, Section 1(1) of the FOI Act (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200...) states that "Any person making a request for information to a public authority is entitled to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds information of the description specified in the request".
I would be grateful if you could clarify whether or not this information is held, or specify which exemption of the duty to confirm or deny you are applying.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i...
Yours faithfully,
Pero Mandiloski

Good Morning Pero,
Unfortunately, there is no such a group in the NCA as the Antimicrobial
Management Group. The minutes and reports of the Antimicrobial Stewardship
Group (ASG) and Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) have been already
provided.
The Antimicrobial Stewardship Group meetings have been provided for the
separate Trusts. The ASG meeting minutes are from Salford and the AMS from
BRO.
Therefore The Trust have provided an update for all care organisations as
far as I can see.
