Dear [email address],

Thank you for your response.

However, I am disappointed in the format it has been provided in. As it is incredibly difficult to comprehend and differentiate between each descriptor and additionally does not provide the code assigned to each.

Therefore, would it be possible to obtain a copy of the MDT status code and the descriptions in a table format?

Yours sincerely,
Jack Chiverton
