Dear NHS Digital,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of NHS Digital's handling of my FOI request regarding 'How many alzheimer's dementia suffers have been diagnosed treated for Asbestos Mesothelioma.
NHS Digital Have Refused My FOI Request saying information I requested can be found else where as well as quoting some law clause.
Yet NHS Digital advise point me to bespoke NHS Digital Search Engine where they ask me to commission bespoke search.
Now NHS Digital bespoke search is for health professionals and professional researchers neither of I am.
Given nature of my request and distinct lack of information and vulnerability of Alzheimer’s Dementia patients and obvious distinct lack of information when it comes to them suffering or being treated for asbestos related condition mesothelioma.
There should be information held as part of hospital NHS national safeguarding prescribing policy.
There are 600.000 Alzheimer’s Dementia suffers in the UK.
And not one as ever been exposed to asbestos or developed mesothelioma.
Clearly numbers don’t add up AND that’s why I think NHS Digital as the information but dose not want to disclose.
The lack of Asbestos Mesothelioma information resources when it comes to Alzheimer’s Dementia suffers one could say is causing them harm and is discriminatory.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
