Record of Decision to Appoint Consultants McKinsey

Roedd y cais yn llwyddiannus.

Dear NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group,

Would you please release the record of the decision(s) to appoint consultants McKinsey taken in August/September 2016.

I expect there may be a formal record of decision(s); if there isn't then I am seeking the relevant elements of report(s) and minutes relating to the decision(s).

If the arrangements are not finalised as of the date of this request I am seeking the applicable material which is available.

If when the response to this request is collated there is relevant material generated after the date of this request I would like to ask that, outside of Freedom of Information law, but in the interests of transparency, it is provided if practical.

Regards,

--

I've been pointed to a report which says:

"The Governing Body approved the appointment
of McKinsey and Company as the preferred bidder. '

It was that statement in the report which prompted my request. I wanted to know when and how the Governing Body approved the appointment and on what basis.

The procurement register I was pointed to does say the decision was taken at a:

"CCG Governing Body (in private) 02.09.16. "

Presumably there would have been a paper to that meeting and a minute taken of the decision; that would in my view amount to the record of the decision.

Dear NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group's handling of my FOI request 'Record of Decision to Appoint Consultants McKinsey'.

I don't think the material released amounts to the record of the decision. The response states: "The decision to appoint McKinsey’s was reported to the CCG Governing Body in public on 13 September 2016 as part of the Chief Officer’s report". That report in fact prompted this request. The register of decisions linked from the response states the decision in question was taken at a CCG Governing Body (in private) on 02.09.16, that appears to me to be a mere pointer to the fact the decision was taken.

I made clear in my request that, in the absence of a formal record of the decision I was seeking : "the relevant elements of report(s) and minutes relating to the decision(s)". The material I expected to be released included, for example, the recommendation made to the board, the basis for the recommendation, alternative options, and details of the decision taken. What I have been provided with is a mere index, an entry on a list, rather than the substantive information I was actually seeking.

I am concerned the way my request has been dealt with appears to have been unhelpful and evasive and would like the review to consider if the CCG has fulfilled its requirements to advise and assist under section 16 of the Freedom of Information Act.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/r...

Yours faithfully,
