Dear South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's handling of my FOI request 'FOI Request - spend on chaplaincy 09/10'.
I made the original FOI request in August 2010. I made the same request to 227 Trusts and almost all replied within 20 days. Although I have received acknowlegements and apologies, this request is inordinately delayed. Most recently I asked for an estimate of when the information would be available and was told 'in due course'. The Trust has a statutory duty to response to FOI requests promptly and normally within 20 working days.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/fo...
Yours faithfully,
Robert Christian
I will be out of the office until Monday 25 October 2010. If you have an
urgent enquiry please contact Rachel Walklet on 01785 257888 ext 5586 or
Martin Evans on 07969 814302, or contact the Trust switchboard on 01785
257888. If you have an urgent item to be placed on the intranet please
contact the Web Team HIS Block 6 [[email address]]

Dear Mr Carr
I appreciate that you are very busy, but I seem to be unable to find anyone at your Trust who can respond to my FOI request which was made on 15th August 2010. The Trust has a statutory obligation to respond to FOI requests promptly normally within 20 working days. The response to this request is well overdue.
The full details of the request and email trail can be found here.
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/fo...
You can also see from the link below that your Trust is one of the worst performing organisations in terms of compliance with FOI legislation through the WTDK website.

I do appreciate that people are very busy, but I also feel I that I have been very patient and would be most grateful if you could look into this matter.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Christian
