Dear Mr Read
 
Further to your request below, I have been asked to contact you to clarify
some points on your FOI. The title of your FOI is Adult Review and
Reassessment Provision and asks for information in respect of Reviewing
Officers. Newcastle City Council does not employ officers with the job
title Reviewing Officers in Adult Social Care, however we do have
Independent Reviewing Officers (IRO) in Children’s Social Care. Can I
clarify the information you have requested is for reviews/reassessments
undertaken for Adult Social Care service users only please.
 
Many thanks
