Hi Buzz Carter

Thanks for the update:

Checking with the data reporting teams based on your feedback, they indicated to produce a report on all the nurses and how many people they see on a monthly basis may exceed the 18 hours limitation on FOI responses. Additionally, the comment was made that as a person who uses our services during their treatment may see multiple nurses during their session, so the data produced may not actually reflect the information you are seeking.

I obviously will progress the request as stated, but wanted to clarify the situation first.

The 20 working days clock has stopped and will start again on the day that we receive your response. If we do not hear from you by 14th December 2018, we will assume that you no longer require the information and we will close the request.

Yours sincerely
