Dear Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust,
Subject: Freedom of Information Request Regarding Patient Safety and Trust Investigations
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding patient safety procedures and trust investigations, as they pertain to recent developments highlighted by Revd Graham James, chair of the Paterson Inquiry.
1. Please provide a copy of the national patient recall framework issued by NHS England in June 2022, fulfilling the recommendation of the Paterson Inquiry.
2. Could you provide details on how patient safety is prioritized and ensured in all recall procedures outlined in the aforementioned framework?
3. In reference to concerns raised by Revd Graham James regarding the thoroughness of patient recalls, particularly in the case of Williamson's patients, I request information on any independent reviews conducted by NHS England to assess the recall procedures, especially when thoroughness has been questioned.
4. Regarding the recent recommendation made by Revd Graham James for NHS England to intervene in trust safety investigations, could you provide any documentation or correspondence related to this recommendation, including any responses or actions taken by NHS England in light of this recommendation?
5. Please provide any reports, summaries, or findings resulting from the initial stage of the review conducted by the Northern Care Alliance regarding patient recalls.
6. Additionally, I would like to request any correspondence, memos, or documents related to Revd Graham James, specifically any communications with NHS England regarding patient safety procedures or trust investigations.
7. Furthermore, please include any documents or communications related to Revd Graham James's recommendation for NHS England to intervene in trust safety investigations, as reported in the media.
8. Lastly, I would appreciate any additional information or documentation related to patient safety procedures, reviews, or decisions made by NHS England or its affiliated healthcare providers, particularly those relevant to ensuring patient safety.
I understand that under the Freedom of Information Act, I should receive a response within 20 working days. If you require any clarification or further details to fulfill this request, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Simon Wainwright ]

In accordance with Trust policy and the requirements of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, a period of 20 working days is assigned for
processing your request. [Working days within the NHS refers to

Good Afternoon Simon,
The Trust is in the process of collating a response to your Freedom of
Information request. (FOI 13908)
However, require further clarification on the following 2 questions.
7. Furthermore, please include any documents or communications related to
Revd Graham James's recommendation for NHS England to intervene in trust
safety investigations, as reported in the media.
This is a wide angled search and would involve contacting most managers
and clinicians for any data they held. It would help if you could limit it
down to a department or individual as this at present would take too long
to attempt to find out.
8. Lastly, I would appreciate any additional information or documentation
related to patient safety procedures, reviews, or decisions made by NHS
England or its affiliated healthcare providers, particularly those
relevant to ensuring patient safety.
Again, this is a wide angled search and would involve contacting most
managers and clinicians for any data they held. It would help if you could
limit it down to a department or individual as this at present would take
too long to attempt to find out.
Please be aware, your request will now be placed on hold until we hear
back from you.
Kind Regards
