Distances to the possible new hospital facility
Dear Hywel Dda University Health Board,
In your review of the recent consultation about major reformation of the facilities you manage you have indicated that you would like to provide a major new hospital in an area east of Pembrokeshire. Can you supply a list of all the LSOA’s that are NOT in Pembrokeshire but are in your ‘patch’ and their distances in kilometres, by road, to the centre of that zone as you currently foresee it. Please include not only the LSOA names but also their codes and the ordnance survey grid reference of each of their population centroids.
Additionally will you also include the distance, by road, from those population centroids to Withybush hospital.
Can you please supply this information in an Open Source spreadsheet format. If you are unable to supply the information in an Open Source (Libre Office?) format please use an older Microsoft Excel format that will be easier to convert accurately.
Yours faithfully,
Alan Taylor
Dear Alan
Thank you for your recent request for the supply of information relating to transport links . The UHB received three requests from you within a few days of each other, all with a similar theme. Therefore under section 5 (2) of the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004, the UHB is aggregating your requests and will respond to them collectively.
Under the Act, the Health Board is required to supply the information to you within 20 working days. In terms of your request, this means that the information should be provided by 12 November 2018. If this is not possible, a further letter will be sent advising you of the progress made in satisfying your request.
Please find enclosed our leaflet giving guidance on our procedure for managing requests for information that is covered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Yours Sincerely

Dear FOI HywelDda (Hywel Dda UHB - Freedom of Information),
I am disappointed to hear that you intend to lump three different request for information into a single F.o.I. request. I agree that all three requests have a similar theme in that they all refer to distances but that does not detract from the fact that all three requests are for information about differing routes and differing destinations. I ask that you reconsider your response and reply to each request individually.
Yours sincerely,
Alan Taylor
