I write further to your Freedom of Information request.

We are still processing your request and in order to answer fully we seek
clarification from you as follows:

In terms of collapse/cardiac arrest - please confirm whether you require
information pertaining to pregnancy, during labour or postpartum/puerperal

With kind regards

Dear [University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust request email],

Dear Heidi

I responded to your request for clarification nearly 1 month ago. May I
now have the data requested? This request is seriously overdue and I
would like to avoid requesting an internal review or taking the legal
route.

Many thanks,

Yours sincerely,

Ian Humphreys

Dear Requester

We write further to your request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act received 4 July 2023.  We have set out your request,
together with our response below. 

I am writing to request an internal review of University Hospitals
Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trusts handling of my FOI request Obstetric
data for last 5 years.

I have chased this data and clarifications, please now provide the full
response. The last response indicated another 20 day wait. This is
incorrect and not in line with the FOIA.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on
the Internet at this address:
https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/o...

Your original request was received electronically on the 28th March 2023
through our Freedom of Information management system, Infreemation. 

Following a review of your request we identified the relevant staff and
these were then contacted and chased for response.

A clarification request was made by a staff member on the 27th April 2023
to which we then emailed yourself on the same day seeking clarity. 
Clarification from yourself was received on the same day and relayed to
the relevant department.

Unfortunately the relevant person who could provide the information no
longer works at the Trust  and due to other staffing issues, they were
struggling to provide responses to the unanswered questions in your
request. 

The responses were finally provided and disclosure made to you on the 13th
July 2023.

We are extremely sorry for the delayed response to your request which did
exceed our usual time frame for responses to Freedom of Information
requests; for this we do apologise.  

As we have provided the information that we do hold your request is now
closed.  We trust that this is satisfactory but if you are dissatisfied
with the way that it has been handled you have the right to ask for an
internal review.  Internal review requests should be submitted within two
months of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and
should be addressed to: David Walsh, Director of Corporate Affairs,
University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Trust, Clifford Bridge
Road, Coventry CV2 2DX.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
