Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, NHS England should have responded by now (details). The person who made the request can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear NHS England,

I have already submitted this request the email specified on this page (https://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/foi/) and been told to send it to the press office. The press office sent me back to the email specified on this page.

I am hoping I will have more luck using this platform.

I am a journalist at Bloomberg and I would like copies of emails sent and received by [email address] between:

03/01/2024 @ 10:25 am UK time

05/01/2024 @ 13:00 pm UK time

That include reference to my name, "Olivia Solon" or “Bloomberg” or my email address "[email address]"

I am interested in how the NHS discussed my media request for more information about a possible breach of contract.

Kind regards,

Olivia
