Dear Sydney Diack

The Trust has received your request, however, before we can provide information we require some clarification from you.

Please can you clarify what you mean by 'costs recovered'? Do you mean the amount of cash received?

Please can you clarify what you mean by 'cost charges'? Do you mean value of invoices raised?

In accordance with the FOI Act, your request will be put on hold while we wait your clarification and the clock restarted once clarification has been received.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sydney

The Trust requires some additional clarification from you.

You have asked for 'Costs recovered from private patients at Barts Trust from the year 2014-present'

Your other questions refer to 'foreign patients', which we have interpreted as Overseas visitors. Please can you clarify whether your question about private patients refer to all private patients (foreign and domestic) and whether by 'foreign patients' you mean Overseas visitors. (See the follow link for more information: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio... )

In accordance with the FOI Act and the FOI Code of Practice, your request will be put on hold while we wait your clarification and the clock restarted once sufficient clarification has been received.

Yours sincerely
