Dear J Roberts,
I am writing in response to your review request received on 25th November 2015. An internal
review has been carried out by someone of a senior grade to the person who dealt with your
original request. I am now in a position to respond to you. In your review request you said:
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department for Work
and Pensions's handling of my FOI request 'Work and Health
Programme'.
I should have received a response seven days ago, but I have
received nothing.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/work_and_health_programme_2
In response to your request, I can confirm that the handling of your original request and
response has now been appropriately reviewed by someone unconnected with the handling of
your original request.
As a result of this review I can advise that I find the original decision to be delayed. Your
request for review is therefore accepted.
I apologise unreservedly for the delay in responding to your original request. This was because
your request required input from multiple policy teams. I can confirm that the response was
sent to you on 13 January 2016.
If you have any queries about this letter please contact me quoting the reference number
above.
Yours sincerely,
DWP Strategy FoI Team
