Dear Nikki Thompson

Please see the following comments from our Human Resources department.

"This request is not appropriate for us - it relates to OT services -
Occupational Therapy services so it would be an FOI that I would expect to
be sent to a health trust, not a district council."

Whilst it is not relevant to us as a District Council, I do know some
health responsibilities were transferred from the NHS to Buckinghamshire
County Council but I'm not sure if Occupational Therapy was one of them. 
You may wish to contact them if you have not already done so.

Kind regards
