Freedom of Information Requests,

Dear Mr Preston

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Due to ongoing pressure within the NHS we are unable to respond to your FOI request. I apologise if your request has already breached the statutory deadline but unfortunately already pressurised departments are now facing additional pressure during the COVID-19 outbreak due to staff sickness and re-deployment to support critical clinical areas. It is with regret that the Trust has therefore applied exemption section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act – Burden on Authority.

We hope to be able to respond to your request in the future, and ask that you resubmit this no sooner than 3 months’ time, however we may need to continue to apply this exemption until the current pressures have subsided.

We thank you in advance for your understanding and support during these difficult times.

If you are unhappy with the way your request for information has been handled, you can request a review by writing to: Freedom of Information Office, South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, Harton Wing, Harton Lane, South Shields, NE34 0PL or via email at [South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust request email] .

If you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your request or complaint, you have a right to appeal to the Information Commissioner at: The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Telephone: 0303 123 1113 Website: www.ico.org.uk. There is no charge for making an appeal.

The Commissioner’s Office will not normally hear a complaint until the internal complaints procedure has been completed.

PLEASE NOTE THE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR FOI REQUESTS IS NOW – [email address]
