Dear Mr Hencke 
Re: reports to the Information Commission by the HPA since 1st April 2009 
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 15 June 2010 regarding 
the number of events that the Health Protection Agency (HPA) has reported to the 
Information Commissioner since April 2009. 
 
Under section 1 (1) (a) of the Act, I can confirm that the HPA does hold the 
information you require. 
 
All Public Authorities are obliged to publish the information you have requested 
annually. Page 18 of our annual report and accounts 2009 states that  the HPA had 
no incidents in the report period which fall under the criteria for reporting to the 
Information Commissioner’s office. 
 
Our 2010 annual report is due for publication in mid July which covers the time period 
you have enquired about. In accordance with the section 22 – information intended 
for future publication exemption, the HPA is not obliged to disclose this information 
now. Please refer to our annual report on the HPA website www.hpa.org.uk when it is 
published. 
 
I hope you have found this information useful, however, if you are dissatisfied with 
this response and would like a copy of the HPA complaints procedure then please 
contact Mr George Stafford, Complaints Manager at: Health Protection Agency, 61 
Colindale Avenue, London NW9 5EQ. 
 
Please note that you have the right to an independent review by the Information 
Commissioner’s Office if a complaint cannot be resolved through the HPA complaints 
procedure. The Information Commissioner’s Office can be contacted by writing to 
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire 
SK9 5AF.
