Dear FOI (MID YORKSHIRE HOSPITALS NHS TRUST),
Hi, thank you for the response, however I do believe you hold a difficult asthma clinic at Dewsbury (as mentioned on your website)? Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
JM
Dear Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Patients in the Difficult Asthma Service clinic'.
[ GIVE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINT HERE ]
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately the information given states there is no clinic held at Dewsbury or pontefract but I know the clinic runs at Dewsbury, as cited on your website https://www.midyorks.nhs.uk/news/news-po...
(the box with the first quote). Please can you provide the figures for Dewsbury and pontefract if there is a clinic there too. Thank you!
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p...
Yours faithfully,
JM
Good morning
We have already received your previous email about an asthma clinic at Dewsbury, and it is being dealt with.
Kind regards
FOI Lead Officer
Good morning
Please find attached our amended response to your recent FOI request.
Please accept our apologies for the error.
Kind regards
FOI Lead Officer
Dear FOI (MID YORKSHIRE HOSPITALS NHS TRUST),
Hi, I’m just wondering why the number of admissions in both responses is different? Thanks
Yours sincerely,
JM
Hi, probably because they have now added the admissions from Dewsbury as well.
Thanks
FOI Lead Officer
Dear FOI (MID YORKSHIRE HOSPITALS NHS TRUST),
Is it possible to include pontefract admissions too please? So I can have the number of admissions in the entire trust as requested? Thanks
Yours sincerely,
JM
Dear Sir
I have again contacted our Information team, who have confirmed that we do
also have an asthma clinic at Pontefract Hospital.
I can only apologise for the incorrect information given previously, and
now attach our amended final response once again.
With kind regards
FOI Lead Officer
Dear FOI (MID YORKSHIRE HOSPITALS NHS TRUST),
Thank you very much for your response, I am just checking to confirm this is the "Difficult Asthma Service" clinic figures, not just general asthma services eg I believe there is no difficult asthma service for paeds? Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
JM
Dear Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust,
Hi, would it be possible to receive a reply for my message above? Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
JM
Good morning
I sent you our final updated response on 15 August 2022.
Attached again for your information

Hello, I have received the following statement:
Historically the Monday clinic was the difficult asthma clinic and PGI
clinic was a general respiratory clinic. Since Covid, the PGI clinic has
turned into just asthma – so in practice both are difficult asthma clinics
I hope that this now answers your queries.
Kind regard
FOI Lead Officer
Dear FOI (MID YORKSHIRE HOSPITALS NHS TRUST),
Thank you very much for your response.
