Re: FOI request ref: F23/0580

Thank you for your freedom of information request.

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You will receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days after the date of receipt as defined by the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third party. In some circumstances we may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised timescale at the earliest opportunity.

In some cases there may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment from you. If you choose not to make payment then your request will remain unanswered.

Dear SWBH-GM-FOIREQUESTS (SANDWELL AND WEST BIRMINGHAM HOSPITALS NHS TRUST),

I sent this request on 1st December 2023 As you are no doubt aware this would take the request above the workday limit for a response. Could you please provide me with an update of the status of this request.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like the following information:

Please provide a list of all gender options you list on patient forms.

If this original request is too vague, for clarity I am requesting information from any form that collects the personal data of patients, such as name, gender/sex, age etc. For example, an inpatient form.

If the number of forms would take you above the threshold for cost of compliance (s.12(1)), please select a sample of such forms under the threshold.

Yours sincerely,

Liam Porter
