Dear Ms Meer,
Thank you for your request for an internal review into the handling of
FOI-1516682.
DHSC does not conduct internal reviews until a response to the initial
case has been issued. Although organisations can choose to conduct an
internal review to assess the handling process where they have taken more
than 20 working days to respond, DHSC uses the internal review process
once the initial case is complete to ensure that any exemptions that have
been used have been applied correctly, and that all information within the
scope of the request was considered.
We note from our records that the legal deadline for the above FOI is 7
August.
We will therefore not be conducting an internal review. We will respond to
your FOI request as soon as we are able.
Yours sincerely,
