Group B Strep guidelines, patient information materials, and rates of neonatal infection
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 Oliver
Apologies that you cannot see the file. I have attached again. Can you please confirm if you have received this?
Many Thanks
Lauren
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
