Dear Mya

 

As you will be aware, as a result of COVID-19, the NHS has returned to the
highest alert level.  The Trust has been directed to administer the
COVID-19 immunisation programme and ensure that patient facing staff are
tested twice weekly.  As such, our resources are being diverted away from
the usual compliance and information rights work to the effective long
term management of the virus in line with the Government’s request. 
Whilst we recognise that statutory timescales cannot be extended, we
apologise that there is likely to be a significant delay in responding to
your request for information during this extraordinary period.

We will log your request at this time and review the situation as the
pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic reduce to enable us to return to
responding within the statutory timeline.

 

Many thanks

Dear Mya,

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our resources at times were diverted from the usual compliance and information rights work to the effective long term management of the virus and supporting the vaccination programme, in line with the Government’s request.

As a result of this a small number of requests have not been actioned within the correct timeframe. Our records show that one of these requests came from you and was received by us on 26.02.2021. We would like to apologise for not responding to your request in a timely manner.

If you still wish to receive the information you requested, please let us know. If we don’t hear from you within three weeks, we will assume you no longer require the information and will close your request accordingly.

Many thanks
