Dear NNE CCG Freedom of Information Requests,

Thank you for your information so far. Regarding question 4, how regularly do you check the Exeter system?

Yours sincerely,

Mr. E James

NNE CCG Freedom of Information Requests,

Dear Mr E James,

We carry out an RIP report through Exeter which imports to QA+ each week. We tend to do this each Monday or Tuesday. We rely on Exeter being updated in a timely way so that any patients that have passed away can be updated on the QA+ system.
