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

I am writing to request an internal review of Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust's handling of my FOI request 'Plastic Laminating Pouches/Sleeves'.

I note that you have not confirmed or denied whether the authority holds this information, and have not applied an exemption that would remove this obligation.
