Dear Mr Edge
I am writing in response to your e-mail below requesting information from
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (the UHB) under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 (the Act).
The Act gives individuals the right to access official information. It
allows the right to request any recorded information held by a public
authority, such as the UHB. A request can be made for any information it
is thought a public authority may hold. The right only covers recorded
information which includes information held on computers, in emails and in
printed or handwritten documents as well as images, video and audio
recordings. A request can take the form of a question, rather than a
request for specific documents, but an authority does not have to answer
your question if this would mean creating new information or giving an
opinion or judgment that is not already recorded.
As you are making a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 the
UHB will consider your request in accordance with the Act and in line with
the appropriate guidance issued by the Information Commissioner as
detailed below.
The UHB will:
• identify which questions amount to requests for information held on
record;
• be ready to offer advice and assistance that is reasonable in the
circumstances; and
• provide a response in line with the requirements of the legislation.
I would now like to confirm that your request has been forwarded to the
relevant department to action. A further response will be issued in due
course.
As your request is being dealt with under the Act there is a deadline of
20 working days from the day following receipt of the request for response
to be issued.
Yours sincerely
Ann Morgan

Dear Mr Edge
I am writing further to my e-mail below acknowledging your Freedom of
Information Act request to Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (the
UHB)
I can now confirm that the UHB has completed a search of its records and
has established that it does not hold the information you are seeking, The
UHB does not have an organisational chart for the DoL’s service provided
within its area. To comply with our obligation contained within section 16
of the Freedom of Information Act, the duty to provide advice and
assistance, I would like to provide the following information:
There is a DoL’s service in the UHB however the service has been
established under a tripartite arrangement in conjunction with the two
local authority areas which cover Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The

have any queries or need clarification on any aspect of this response
please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
