Dear David Johnson,
 
Further to your request of 30 April 2020 our position has changed.
 
PHE can confirm it does hold this information. However, the information is
exempt under section 21 of the FOI Act because it is reasonably accessible
by other means, and the terms of the exemption mean that we do not have to
consider whether or not it would be in the public interest for you to have
the information. However for your convenience we have included the
following link:-
