Dear Claire,

 

I acknowledge on behalf of Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust receipt of
your Freedom of Information request Ref: 4538. You should receive a
response on or before 18/02/21.

 

The Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust is committed to the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

 

However, the NHS is facing unprecedented challenges relating to the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at the current time.  Understandably, our
resources have been diverted to support our front-line colleagues who are
working tremendously hard to provide care for our patients, and to those
in need of our services.

 

We strive to be transparent and to work with an open culture.  But at this
time, whilst care of our patients and the safety of our staff takes
precedent, it is likely that responses to some requests for information
will be delayed.  We apologise for this position in advance, and will
endeavour to provide you with as much information as we can, as soon as we
are able.

 

The Information Commissioners Office has recognised the current situation
in the NHS.

 

Kind regards

 

Angie Morrison
