Dear Health Services,

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information in regards to PCOS diagnosis. I would like to know:

1. How many women in the UK have been diagnosed with PCOS each year for the last 5 tax years?

2. Categorised by age and ethnicity.

Please provide the above information digitally, preferably in the form of an excel spreadsheet.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under your Section 16 obligations, as to how I can refine my request to be included in the scope of the Act.

In any case, if you can identify ways that my request could be refined please provide further advice and assistance to indicate this.

I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as stipulated by the Act.

If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to clarify what I am asking for.

Yours faithfully,

Kirsty Card

Dear Health and Social Care Board for Northern Ireland,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Health and Social Care Board for Northern Ireland's handling of my FOI request 'PCOS Diagnosis'.

The response is delayed.

Yours faithfully,

Kirsty
