Dear Sam,

Covid-19: We have logged your request and we will respond to you in due course with either a response or an update on progress.

We acknowledge receipt of your e-mail requesting information from the CCG under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the Act”). Please note that whilst the CCG strives to be open and is normally able to satisfy requests in full, the right of access is not absolute and we therefore have to refuse queries, either in full or in part, on the basis of the exemptions (for example, in cases where disclosure would breach patient confidentiality, or put people in danger). All such decisions will be made, and fully justified, in accordance with the law.

We are required under the Act to respond to valid queries no later than the twentieth working day following receipt. Your request was received on 14th April 2021, which means our deadline for response calculates to 13th May 2021. If we are able to respond to you sooner than this, we will do so.

Should you have any queries or concerns in the meantime, please contact us directly using the e-mail address, [Leeds CCG request email] and quoting reference number 21-062.

Please note, if having fully considered your request, we reasonably require further information in order to respond, we will request this from you by e-mail as soon as possible. In all such cases, the above timescales will be disregarded and the 20 working day clock shall instead begin once we have received the necessary clarification. There shall be no duty for us to comply with your request until we receive this information from you.

Kind Regards
