I am writing to request an internal review of Northern Ireland Ambulance Service Health and Social Care Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Patient deaths in transit'.
I have had a face-to-face meeting with NIAS - and am at this stage clearly indefinitely left to wait. In this meeting I was assured that responses were imminent.
If NIAS do not respond to me within a week, I shall formally escalate with letter to Head of NIAS ,and to the SPPG.
I think your FOI attention has been shocking.
