Group B Strep guidelines, patient information materials, and rates of neonatal infection

The request was successful.

Dear James Paget University Hospitals 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

Hi Ann,

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

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your response to my FOI request.

I had a clarification about Q6 -" Please supply copies of the information materials (physical and/or digital) which are given to women about GBS as a routine part of antenatal care. "

The Trust does not appear to have attached any files that would relate to this question. Would you please look into this, and complete the response?

Thanks in advance

Oliver
