Dear Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Clinical Systems Query'.

I am yet to receive a response from your Trust regarding this request that was originally sent on 26th May 2022. Can you please let me know when we will be able to receive an update on this?

Dear FOI (QUEEN VICTORIA HOSPITAL NHS FOUNDATION TRUST),

Thank you for your reply.
You said that your Trust is planning to replace your Pathology Clinisys - WinPath system. Do you have new systems already procured or are you going out on Tender? Could we please have the new system details and a Go live date for the system?

Yours sincerely,

Miss G Kovacs
