Dear Mr Sowden

I have been advised by the Trust lead for safeguarding that this request should have been sent to the Wirral Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB). We have sent the request onto Elizabeth Hartley for response.

Dear FOI,

A request for this information has already been made with Wirral LSCB. This request is specifically for costs, numbers and related information for the Trust.

Wirral LSCB would not necessarily have this information for the NHS Trust, that is why the request is directed to you.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Sowden

Dear FOI,

May I remind you that I am still awaiting this information which was due by 10 Feb 2011.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Sowden

Dear Mr Sowden

Apologies for the delay, I had forwarded your reply on to the safeguarding lead for the Trust and I have also sent this email on to expedite a response.

Kind regards

Gill.

Hi Andrew - I have again looked at your request which we originally passed
on to Wirral LSCB. We do not hold information about another organisation's
pay scales or structures. It is clearly Wirral LSCB. I have spoken to
their manager this afternoon who has confirmed that they have sent you the
required information. The manager of the LSCB that I spoke to is:

Elizabeth Hartley

Local Safeguarding Children Board Manager

Hamilton Building,

Conway Street,

Birkenhead,

Wirral

CH41 4FD

Tel: 0151 666 4246

Fax: 0151 666 4580

[email address]

Could you please confirm that have received this email and that you
understand that we are unable to meet your request for information we are
not responsible for.

Regards

Phil

Dear Phil Spilsted (Lead Nurse Safeguarding Children & Adults),

Hi Phil, I have not received any information from Elizabeth Hartley or anyone else from Wirral LSCB! I prompted them again on 16 Feb - see http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/or...

Other organisations have had confusion about the request and I sent them this which explained better and enabled them to provide the data required:

Although the LSCB is managed by Wirral council, I am asking for data relating to staff employed by NHS Wirral as they are listed as providing staff to the Local Safeguarding Board as described in the "LSCB Structure Feb 2011.pdf" document available from wirral.gov.uk. This document includes named individuals, eg Jane Harvey, Dr Amanda Bennett, Lisa Cooper etc

The job titles in the original request are generic and should be an indicator of responsibility. I trust you will comply with both the letter and spirit of this request.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Sowden

Dear Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Organogram Data'.

Other LSCB members have generally responded well.

Although some of this information has been provided from other members of the Wirral LSCB I have not received a satisfactory response.

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

Yours faithfully,

Andrew Sowden

Dear Gill Monteith,

Thank you for providing a copy of the review outcome.

All emails were originated by the WhatDoTheyKnow website and are sent to the email addresses provided.

I appreciate this site may send responses to other email addresses depending on the reply from the organisation being asked for information.

I'll raise this as an issue with WhatDoTheyKnow - perhaps always CC'ing the known dedicated FOI address for completeness when sending emails to any organisation address in relation to an FOI request made via the site?

If it may help you, perhaps people responding to a FOI request could use a delegation function to send "on behalf of" the dedicated FOI address or specifically change the "Reply To" field?

Hope this helps, and once again thank you for your assistance in completing this request.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Sowden

Gill Monteith,

I will be away from my office until Tuesday 3/5/11. Please send any Freedom of Information Act requests to the dedicated FOI mailbox at [Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust request email]<mailto:[Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust request email]>
