I am writing regarding your request dated 3/7/2020 for information about IT systems used by GP Practices in Scotland.
A request is not valid if it does not, in accordance with section 8(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA), state the name of the applicant and an address for correspondence. As your request provides only your first name, we do not consider it to be a valid request. Accordingly, we are not obliged to respond to it. However, if you provide your name (a surname and title, eg Mr or Ms, is sufficient) we would be able to consider your request and respond in accordance with FOISA.
If you need any further advice and assistance to submit a valid request, please contact me.
You may also find it helpful to look at the answer to the question “Do I have to provide my real name and my full address when I ask for information?” on the Scottish Information Commissioner’s website at: http://www.itspublicknowledge.info/FAQ/G...
