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

The request was successful.

Dear Lanarkshire 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 Linda/Lauren,

Thank you for your email. The letter refers to the "guideline for the prevention of early onset GBS disease in neonates" being attached, but I can't see the file.

Would you please send it over separately?

Thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Plumb

Hi Lauren,

Apologies if I wasn't clear, that Word document has attached without issue.

My query is that in the first question within the Word documentis "1. Please supply a copy of your guideline(s) relating to Group B Strep during pregnancy, labour and in newborn babies "

The reply is "Please find attached our guideline for the prevention of early onset GBS disease in neonates. "

However, the Word document titled "Group B Strep Plumb June" is the only file attached to your email, so I can't see where the guideline is?

Best wishes,

Oliver

McKeown, Lauren, Lanarkshire NHS Board
