Dear Ed Fryer

The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is writing to respond
to your request, F22-7846, sent 07/09/2022.

Please see below your request and the Trust’s response below.

How many patients have been treated for glioblastoma brain cancer in the
last 12 months, in your trust/ health board? - 62

2. Which consultant is the nominated medical lead for the treatment or
referral of glioblastoma brain cancer? 

 

Section 40(2)

The exemption which has been relied upon is section 40(2) of the Freedom
of Information Act 2000 with regards to the name, job title, telephone
number and email address of the individual.  

 

The disclosure of this information is subject to balancing the legitimate
interest to disclose against the rights of the individuals. Upon balancing
these two factors, we have found that the rights of the individual
outweigh the legitimate interest to disclose. Therefore, it would be
unfair to the data subject if this information is disclosed. The
disclosure of the name, job title, telephone number and email address
would not add anything further to this request for information.
Furthermore, it would be unfair to disclose the name, job title, telephone
number and email address of the individual to the general public. The
individual would expect a right to privacy. They would only expect that
their name, job title, telephone number and email address are disclosed to
the relevant people in connection with Trust business and also in relation
to the discharge of the responsibilities involved in their post. It would
not be reasonable to disclose their name, job title, telephone number and
email address to the general public. Furthermore, the release of this
information may also lead to a greater number of unsolicited
correspondence.  

 

The first condition under section 40(3A) has been contravened as it would
not be fair to disclose the name, job title, telephone number and email
address of the individual. Therefore, the name, job title, telephone
number and email address of the individual, has been withheld. 

3.Does your trust/ health board treat all referred glioblastoma brain
cancer cases, or are they referred to different centre's? If so, which
treatment centre(s) are they referred to? – OUH MDT discussed and provides
all treatment modalities (Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) from an
oncology perspective. The DGH’s listed who are members of our MDT might
provide ongoing oncology (chemotherapy) support)

Swindon, OUH, NGH, RBH, Stoke Mandeville
