Dear Information Access,
Thank you for confirming that you hold the requested information.
I have no objection to you withholding the identity of the panel members.
I cannot locate the attachment containing the QA Tool which you say contains the minutes.
I did put a telephone call into your department to request their whereabouts but unfortunately, I did not receive a callback.
I would be grateful for your assistance
Yours sincerely,
Mark Hashemi
Dear Information Access,
My request is now long overdue. In your first response, you advised me that the information requested is contained in a “QA Tool” document. Despite your advice, I have not received the QA tool either electronically or by mail.
I have telephoned your office to enquire as to its whereabouts but my call has not been returned.
Please could I request an internal enquiry as to why it has taken so long to comply with the request.
Many thanks
Mark Hashemi
Yours sincerely,
Mark Hashemi
Dear Mr Hashemi
I write in relation to your correspondence of 13 November 2019 whereby you requested an internal review of the response to CQC IAT 1920 0538.
My manager and I have looked into this matter and I can confirm that due to human error, the information which I believed to be attached to the previous email was not. This was a sincere oversight on my part for which I take full responsibility.
I provide the planned attachment above.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience which this delay has caused. You can expect a formal internal review response from a senior member of our team in due course.
Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Hashemi
I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated 13 November in which
you asked us to review our response to your request for information.
Your original request for information was received on the 17 September

Despite your advice, I have not received the QA tool either electronically
or by mail.
I have telephoned your office to enquire as to its whereabouts but my call

I apologise that the QA tool referred to in our response of the 8 October
