Dear Grampian NHS Board,

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 Clair,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm afraid the WhatDoTheyKnow system doesn't allow me to attach files to the
request, and redacts emails.

Would you or a colleague be able to call me on 0330 120 0795 and I'll happily sort out sending the file directly

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Plumb

Hi,

The system I've used to make this request (WhatDoTheyKnow) does not allow me to attach a file.

However, I have just emailed the NHS Grampian FOI email address with the spreadsheet attached. The subject line is "GBS FOI Request 582137"

If you would please confirm safe receipt of the spreadsheet, that'd be much appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Plumb

Hi Clair,

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
