entitled to receive it promptly and in any event no later than the 20th
working day following the date of receipt. However, we may need to contact
you to clarify your request. If this is required we aim to do this
promptly but no later than 7 days after receiving your initial request for
information.
 
May I take this opportunity to explain the FOI Act in more detail? The Act
provides a 'General right of access to information held by public
authorities'. However, it also defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent the release of some or all of the information you have requested.
Therefore, Homerton University Hospital will assess your information
request in
light of any relevant exemptions.
 
If exemptions do apply, then Homerton University Hospital may decide not
to
release all, or part, of the information you have requested. I shall
inform you if
this is the case, and advise you of your rights of appeal.
If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken as to whether to
release the information to you. The response to your request will be sent
to
you by email, however if you require your response in any other format,
please
contact us to discuss a suitable format.
 
Homerton University Hospital will not normally charge a fee to provide you
with the information you have requested, unless the cost of dealing with
your
request is more than £450 as outlined in Section 12 of the FOI Act 
(Appropriate Limit and Fees) If it appears likely that your request will
cost more,
then the Trust is able to refuse to supply the information.
 
If you have any queries or should you wish to make a complaint about the
manner in which your request is being processed then please do not
hesitate to contact me at the above address in the first instance. Any
complaints will be investigated in accordance with Homerton University
Hospital's complaints procedure.
