Thank you for your email.

We acknowledge receipt of your request.

You will be aware of the significant pressures on our health and social
care services during the current surge of the Covid-19 pandemic. During
this time we have been asking our staff to prioritise their professional
caring duties and to support front line health and social care services in
responding to the emergency. This has understandably had an impact on
other duties within their role such as responding to legislative
requirements under FOI and the processing of Subject Access Requests. 

We assure you that your request will be logged and processed, and we will
do our utmost to respond as quickly as possible.

Yours faithfully

Information Governance Team
