Dear Pers Trg-Sec-FOI Mailbox (MULTIUSER),
Thank you for your reply.
Please confirm:-
1. That this represents an exact copy and not an abstraction of 2001 job vacancy--save for the spelling of Principal, and-
2. If it is an exact copy no mention was made of qualifications or experience required for the job vacancy advertisement.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Young,

Thank you for your email dated 6 September which was in reply to an FOI response we sent on 4 September 2014. Further to the FOI response you have now sought confirmation concerning the information provided.

The information provided in response to your FOI request outlined the four main aspects of the role. It is not standard practice for government departments to hold copies of vacancies once the recruitment process has been completed. Therefore, in this case we are unable to confirm the job description is a copy of the job vacancy in 2001. The individual transferred at the request of the Ministry of Defence into the post. The post holder had been appointed at SCS level by open competition in Department Social Services in 1997.

Regards

However, I am sure you be reassured to know that Dr Braidwood CBE BSc(Hons) MB MRCP MRCGP FFOM is not only widely-respected amongst her peers, but has the complete confidence of the Secretary of State for Defence.
