Dear Sir/Madam

Many thanks for your request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

Ardwick & Longsight Primary Care Network (PCN), are a group of general

separate legal entity therefore as such, are unable to assist you with
your request.  If you require this information, you would need to submit a
Freedom of Information Act request to each GP Practice within the Ardwick
& Longsight PCN.

The practices who are members of the PCN are:

·         Drs Ngan & Chan

·         Ailsa Craig Medical Centre

·         Surrey Lodge Group Practice

·         Dickenson Road Medical Centre

·         Ardwick Medical Practice

·         Drs Chiu, Kho and Gan

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Policy information request

Dear Ardwick and Longsight Primary Care Network,

I would like to request the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act in relation to the research I am completing.

Having reviewed your website and policies, I am unable to obtain the
relevant documents, which is why I have made this request. I would like
to know which documents are used for the review and approval of new
medical devices within your NHS Trust/entity.

The exact naming of the documents may differ, but the context is the
same, so we ask for judgement to be used, and please let us know if you
require further clarification.

1.      Could you please provide a copy of the Trusts/entity“New Medical
Device policy?”

2.      Could you please provide a copy of the Trusts/entity“Medical
Devices and Procurement Review Group policy?”

3.      Could you please provide a copy of the Trusts/entity“Business
case template for new medical devices or technology” for new
medical/diagnostic device approval?

4.      Could you please provide a list of all approved medical devices
in your Trusts/entity? Excel format, word or PDF is fine.

5.      Could you please provide a copy of the policy which supports
“medical devices on trial requirements”.

6.      Could you please provide the policy for including a new
pathology test within the Trusts/entity?

7.      Could you please provide the policy for the “New medical Product
Selection Group”

8.      Could you please confirm how often new medical device review
meetings take place?

9.      Could you please provide me the name of the staff member
responsible for finances of new medical devices and their email address.

10.     Could you please provide me the name of the staff member
responsible for procurement of new medical devices and their email
address.

11.     Lastly, could you please supply a copy of the last 3 ‘New
Medical Device meeting’ minutes and also the location of where they are
published on your website?

All documents can be provide in word, PDF or a readable format.

Thank you for your help on this matter and look forward to hearing from
you. Any questions please do let me know.

Yours faithfully,

Carolyn Tuson
