Dear Mr Trevaldwyn,

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act received on 13 December. We have allocated it the following reference number, FOI 18553.

In response to questions (a) and (b) below, the Health Board has recently responded to a similar request, which I believe provides the information you are seeking, and the information is already published in our Disclosure Log, available on the Health Board’s website. We are therefore applying a Section 21 exemption (information accessible by other means) to your request. However, in order to comply with our obligation under Section 16 to advise and assist, please see detailed below the link to the Health Board’s Disclosure Log where you will find the information you have requested (reference FOI 18411 Enclosure 1 - Rebate Agreements):

http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sitesplus/866/pa...

Most of the agreements are continuous agreements, with a clause for either party to terminate the agreement following an appropriate period of notice.

In response to question (c), the job role of the person who has been responsible for signing the above rebate agreements is the Clinical Director of Pharmacy.

In the meantime, if we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
