Group B Strep guidelines, patient information materials, and rates of neonatal infection
Dear North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust,
The charity Group B Strep Support is doing some research into group B Strep prevention policies, information provision, and types of GBS testing done across the UK.
Please would you fill in the spreadsheet found at https://gbss.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2...
Please let me know if any questions are unclear. To assist with responding to this FOI request, we would expect questions 1-6 and 8-9 to need input from the Midwifery/Obstetrics & Gynaecology department, while questions 10-14 will likely need input from the Microbiology department.
Please provide answers to the spreadsheet linked above in an Excel format.
Yours faithfully,
Oliver Plumb
Dear Oliver
Thank you for your email, unfortunately I am unable to look at your questions, as our firewall is blocking them.

Hi Kellie,
Thanks for your reply, and I'm sorry to hear the firewall's being a pain. I'm afraid the system I've used to make this request (WhatDoTheyKnow) does not allow me to attach a file.
However, I have just emailed the Trust's FOI email address with the spreadsheet attached. The subject line is "GBS FOI Request 582179"
If you would please confirm safe receipt of the spreadsheet, that'd be much appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Oliver Plumb

Hi Kellie,
My FOI request relating to group B Strep guidelines, patient information materials, and rates of neonatal infection has, by my reckoning, been delayed beyond the 20 working day timescale set out by the FOIA and ICO.
I would be very grateful if you could let me know on what date I will be receiving your reply please?
Yours sincerely,
Oliver Plumb
