Dear FOI,

Thanks for your reply. I am genuinely surprised the trust doesn't collate data on outpatient activity as part of it's normal auditing processes.

I am therefore requesting a new FOI request for information, if you have this, regards to the activity for Dr Jonathan Evans, Neurology

1. The number of patients assessed in clinic by Dr Evans between 31/5/2 and 31/8/22
2. The number of new patients assessed in clinic by Dr Evans between 31/5/2 and 31/8/22

Yours faithfully,

Yours sincerely,

PRAKASH KACHHALA

Dear Prakash Kachhala,

 

REF: FOI NUH 61200 - FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

 

We are considering your request for information, which was received on
17^th October 2022. In that request you asked us for the number of
patients (and new patients) assessed in clinic by Dr Evans.

 

I can confirm that the Trust holds information that falls within the
description specified in your request. However, the information is not
held in an easily retrievable format and would require the retrieval and
manual audit/review of individual records in order to extract the
information requested (as there are number of clinicians in each clinic
led by Dr Evans).

 

We estimate that the cost of complying with your request would exceed the
appropriate limit of £450. The appropriate limit is set by the Secretary
of State in SI 2004 No 3244 - The Freedom of Information and Data
Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004 has a limit of
£450 for Public Authorities.This represents the estimated cost of one
person spending over 18 hours (at rate of £25 per hour) in determining
whether the Trust holds the information, and in locating, retrieving and
extracting information.

 

Under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act the Trust is therefore
not obliged to comply with your request and we will not be processing your
request further.

 

If you narrow the scope of your request the Trust may be able to provide
the information free of charge because it would cost less than the
appropriate limit to do so although we cannot guarantee that this will be
the case. Any reformulated request received will be treated as a fresh FOI
request.

 

If you have any queries or concerns about this letter, please contact me.
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

 

If you are unhappy with the response you have received and wish to make an
appeal against our decision, you should write to
