Dear Mr Wicker  
 
Re: Breakdown Costs For CJD panel IT Services 

 
 
Thank you for your request of the 25 January 2012 in which you request information on the 
Creutzfeldt - Jacok disease (CJD) panel hardware maintenance and costs. I confirm in 
accordance with section 1 (1) (a) of the Act that the Health Protection Agency does not hold 
the information specified in your request.  
 
However, under section 16 of the Act, we have a duty to also provide advice and assistance 
regarding your request. I have contacted the head of the CJD panel and have been informed 
that the CJD Incidents Panel is an independent scientific advisory committee which has no 
base or facilities such as IT hardware of its own.  
 
Additionally, the Secretariat for the CJD Incidents Panel is provided by the CJD Section of 
HPA Health Protection Services, Colindale. Support services, including IT hardware, are 
shared with many different entities and individuals on this site. As a result, we are not able to 
provide details of the share of facilities used solely by the CJD Incidents Panel Secretariat. 
 
I hope you have found this information helpful. If you have any queries regarding the 
information that has been supplied to you, please refer them in the first instance to 
myself. If you are dissatisfied with this response and would like a copy of the HPA 
complaints procedure then please contact Mr George Stafford, Complaints Manager 
Health Protection Agency, 61 Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5EQ.  
 
Please note that you have the right to an independent review by the Information 
Commissioner’s Office if a complaint cannot be resolved through the HPA complaints 
procedure. The Information Commissioner’s Office can be contacted by writing to: 
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire 
SK9 5AF.  
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Yours sincerely,
