Dear Greater Glasgow NHS Board,

I wrote to you on the 9th of January to request some information, a Freedom of Information request titled "Young People's Gender Service waiting list".

A copy of my request can be found here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/y...

I understand that a public authority has 20 working days to comply with information requests and you have now exceeded the statutory timescale by 10 working days. I would therefore be grateful if you could provide your response as soon as possible.

If a response is not received by the close of business on the 3rd of March, I intend to complain to the Information Commissioner and request assistance in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Steven Brown

FOI BOARD HQ, Greater Glasgow NHS Board
