Minutes of meetings with NHS Hampshire regarding the SCR or HHR

South Central Strategic Health Authority did not have the information requested.

Dear NHS South Central,

Thank you for all your previous FOI responses.

I would like to make a further request under the FOI Act.

For the purposes of the Act, the date of your receipt of this request will be 27th August 2010.

• Please would you kindly send me:

1) the minutes, and
2) any briefing papers/documents sent out in advance of, or discussed at

all and any meetings that NHS South Central has held with NHS Hampshire (Hampshire PCT) between 1st March 2010 and 27th August 2010 regarding:

a) the planned implementation of the Summary Care Record by Hampshire PCT, and/or
b) the further implementation of the Hampshire Health Record by Hampshire PCT

(Where a meeting was not purely about the SCR or HHR but included discussion about or relating to any aspect of the SCR or HHR then I will be satisfied with the minutes and briefing papers of just those relevant items)

As per Section 4a of Part 1 of the FOI Act
(http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukp... ) I would like the information in question held at the time when my request is received (draft or otherwise), except that account maybe taken of any amendment or deletion made between now and the latest time by which the information is to be communicated to me,being an amendment or deletion that would have been made regardless of the receipt of my request.

I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to send me the requested information promptly and in any event not later than the twentieth working day following the date of receipt of my request - that is by then end of the working day of 27th September.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, or specific items within the responses are withheld from disclosure, then you must justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act, as per Section 17 of the Act
(http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukp... ). Where you rely on a qualified exemption to withhold disclosure, you are obliged to consider the public interest in your decisionand the refusal notice must explain not only which exemption applies and why, but also the public interest arguments addressed in reaching the decision.

I wish to receive the information by email; I believe such a request would be reasonable in these circumstances. As per Section 11 of Part 1 of the FOI Act
(http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukp... ) I would be grateful if you would "so far as reasonably practicable give effect to that preference"; if you determine that it is not reasonably practicable to comply with this preference then you are required by law to notify me of the reasons for your determination.

The “return address” (to which the information that I have requested be should be sent ) is the email address that this
particular request originates from (i.e. ending in '@whatdotheyknow.com').

I would be grateful if you would kindly acknowledge receipt of this request as recommended by the ICO (“It would be good practice to acknowledge receipt of requests and to refer to the 20 working day time limit, so that applicants know their request is being dealt with”).

Thank you once again.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Neil Bhatia
