Dear Scottish Ambulance Service,

I understand from http://www.scottishambulance.com/YourCom... that you encourage owners of publicly accessible automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to register their locations with you. I would be grateful if you could supply me with a copy of your resulting list.

For each AED, I would particularly like to know a location description / address, postcode, location coordinates (if held), reference number (if any), and owner/operator name. I do NOT wish to know any access codes required to open the cabinets. I have a strong preference for receiving this information in a re-usable electronic format, e.g. a CSV file (preferred) or an Excel spreadsheet.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Whittaker.

Dear Scottish Ambulance Service,

Many thanks for the the very quick response. It's great that the information is already available online at https://scottishamb-newsroom.prgloo.com/... . However the file offered on that page is a PDF file, which makes accessing the bulk data rather tricky. I don't suppose you could supply the same table of data in a re-usable format -- for instance the original spreadsheet file -- could you?

Yours sincerely,

Robert Whittaker

Dear Scottish Ambulance Service,

I am writing with reference to a recent FOI request I made to you concerning Public Access Defibrillator Locations. You can view details of the request and your response online at https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p... .

You replied pointing me to a PDF file containing the information I was after. Unfortunately this file doesn't allow the information to be extracted automatically, so I sent a follow-up message on 27th August asking if I could have the original spreadsheet file. I don't seem to have had a response to this second message yet. So could I check that it was received and is being considered?

Yours faithfully,

Robert Whittaker

Dear Scottish Ambulance Service,

Can I chase up my FOI request from 26th August again please? The full previous correspondence can be viewed on line at https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p... .

Basically, I am after the original spreadsheet behind the PDF file at https://scottishamb-newsroom.prgloo.com/... as the PDF file is not structured in a way that makes it feasible for a computer to automatically extract the data.

Many thanks,

Robert Whittaker

Dear Scottish Ambulance Service,

Just to let you know that since an Excel Spreadsheet has now been added to https://scottishamb-newsroom.prgloo.com/... I am happy for you to close my request for this data in a computer-readable format.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Whittaker
