Dear Mr Lazou,

I am writing regarding your request for information, which I received on the 4th of February 2013 with reference number MCT/FOI/1213/106/FM.

In that request, you asked us for private and independent sector organisations contracts.

I am writing to ask you to clarify your request. This is because we need further details from you in order to identify and locate the information. Therefore I would be grateful if you would clarify for us if question 1 relates to healthcare contracts. Furthermore, could you please inform us if questions 3 and 4 relate to procuring healthcare?

Thank you.

Regards,

Filian Mentizi

Dear Filian,

Many thanks for your prompt reply. To clarify I am interested in any departments that are contracted out to the private sector including Healthcare. For example clinical functions such as labs, pathology, ambulance services, pharmacy, general nursing, cleaning as well as other backroom functions such as administration and IT.

I am not interested in your external suppliers (e.g. of medicines, or stationary) as I understand that would be a very long list.

Please feel free to contact me again if that is still not clear.

Yours sincerely,

James Lazou
