Dear Peter,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request, sent to our office on 4
October 2017, in which you asked NICE for the following information
relating to the guideline development group for Lyme disease:

 

“Please provide copies of Dr Hand's submissions to the GDG.”

 

Your request will now be considered and you will receive a response
within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act,
subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a
third party. In some circumstances we may be unable to achieve this
deadline. If this is likely you will be informed and given a revised
time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

 

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment
from you. If you chose not to make a payment then your request will remain
unanswered.

 

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to
another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest
possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in
NICE.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Helen
