Dear London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Information request - Committee Meeting Minutes at London North West University Healthcare (LNWH) NHS Trust'.

I note that you have not confirmed or denied whether the authority holds this information, and have not applied an exemption that would remove this obligation.
As you may be aware, Section 1(1) of the FOI Act (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200...) states that "Any person making a request for information to a public authority is entitled to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds information of the description specified in the request".
I would be grateful if you could clarify whether or not this information is held, or specify which exemption of the duty to confirm or deny you are applying.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/i...

Dear Pero Mandiloski,

 

I am contacting you further to your email, a copy of which was received on
30 August 2022.

 

I would be grateful if you could please confirm the Freedom of Information
(FOI) reference number that would have been sent upon receipt of any FOI
requests the Trust may receive.

 

Please note that in an effort to avoid the Trust encountering potential
malicious malware, external links, such as the one contained within your
email, will not be accessed/processed under FOI.  I would therefore please
ask for the aforementioned FOI reference in order that staff can then
investigate further.

 

I hope this information helps,

 

Kind regards
