Bradley Llinos,

Dear Mr Singh

That you for your request for information dated 6 May 2012. In that request, you asked us for information on post-operative instructions for day surgery patients.

We require further information from you in order to identify and locate the information that you have asked for. I will not be able to take this matter further without extra information from you. In particular, it would be useful to know if there are any specific procedures that you're referring to as day surgery.

The Trust has a large number of leaflets available which provide information for specific conditions/treatment. The Trust does not have a generic leaflet specific to day case surgery. Therefore at present the information requested is too wide for us to respond to within the appropriate limit of 18 hours as set out within the Fees Regulations due to the number of leaflets the Trust provides to patients.

If you wish to discuss any of the above, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications

surgery?
4. When can patients return to work after varicose vein surgery?
5. When can patients return to driving after varicose vein surgery?
6. When can patients return to work after haemorroidectomy surgery?
