Dear Burney
Under Section 16 (1) of the Act the Trust has a duty to provide advice and
assistance. I would therefore be grateful if you could clarify the issue
below in order for us to process your application as quickly and
accurately as possible.
• Can you please clarify what you mean by "protocols"? The Trust
manage discharges using Assessment sheets which we could supply if that is
your requirement?
Your request has been put on hold until we hear from you regarding the
above.
Once we have received your clarification we shall continue to work on your
request and provide a response to you within the recalculated 20 working
day time frame.
If we do not receive clarification by 25th October 2016 then we shall
presume that you no longer require this information and will close this
request.
Should you need any further assistance with this, or any other freedom of
information request in the future, we would be happy to open a new request
for you
Kind regards
