Cafcass policies/powers to invalidate NHS specialist medical professional guidance

The request was successful.

Dear Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service,

Please provide me with the Cafcass policies and procedures that allow the Cafcass CST to deny/invalidate NHS Specialist Medical guidelines or deny/invalidate NHS medical specialist definitions of diagnosis ?

Does the Cafcass CST have a policy where they have special measures or power in law to refute/invalidate NHS specialist medical guidelines or deny NHS medical specialists definitions of diagnosis ?

Yours faithfully,

Dear Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service's handling of my FOI request 'Cafcass policies/powers to invalidate NHS specialist medical professional guidance'.

I am dissatisfied with your response. In real terms Cafcass do in fact “redefine” NHS specialist medical guidance therefore your practice ‘must’ match up to some policy or procedure therefore I believe Cafcass must hold information that affords them to redefine medical symptoms.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

Yours faithfully,
