Dear Dr Reddington

 

Re:      Request made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000

 

I am writing to confirm that NHS Dorset does not hold the information you
requested on 11 November 2011 regarding the provision of augmentative and

now under the jurisdiction of Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation
Trust.
