Unfortunately, the team do not record specific medical issue on the
system. Following a medical assessment on all types of medical issues,
medical priority is usually recorded if priority is awarded not the
medical diagnosis.

for an Internal Review. Internal review requests must be submitted within
two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the Internal Review, you may
apply directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision.
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
