NHS Trust Incident Response Levels

Acknowledgement of Request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000

Thank you for your request for information, made under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act) which was received by Portsmouth Hospitals
University NHS Trust.

Under the terms of the Act the Trust expect to respond to your request
within 20 working days. However, the Trust will also investigate the
nature of the information requested. If clarification is required in order
to identify the information requested then the response period will be
suspended until such time as the FOI Team receive clarification.

Please note that in accordance with section 12(4) of the Act where
multiple requests for information are received from one person or by
different persons who appear to be acting together in a single campaign,
the estimated cost of complying with any of the requests is to be taken to
be the estimated total cost of complying with all of them. Where
applicable, we may deal with multiple requests for information under a
single reference.

There are also a number of exemptions which the Act permits with respect
to disclosure of information. The information will be assessed for these
exemptions prior to releasing the information to you. The FOI Team will
advise you if we are unable to provide the information requested due to
exemption(s).

Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005

The supply of information under Freedom of Information is intended to be
for personal use only and does not automatically give the recipient the
right to commercially re-use it, for example, the right to publish it or
make it available to a wider audience [SI 2005 No: 1515 4(1)]. Therefore,
if this information is not for your personal use, you must apply in
writing to this Trust. A licence may be issued if the information is under
copyright and the issue of a licence may constitute a charge depending
upon the information released and proposed re-use.

We do not permit the re-use of any staff personal information.

Failure to comply with the Regulations may result in legal proceedings
being taken against you.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Yours sincerely
