Dear Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Mental Health'.
The response does not answer the original request for information, which is based on an escalation tool, policy or pathway for which a person in an acute mental health crisis is either refusing to attend for an assessment, or the mental health services are declining to support the request for an assessment.
The pathway tool within the response does not cover this.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/m...
Yours faithfully,
Matt Firestone
