Dear Rona Button (Aneurin Bevan UHB - Corporate Services),

Yes I'm VERY aware that you are refusing to answer my request for information regarding
The team. My request specifically states i want to know from at least 2008.

Yet you repeatedly evade providing that information, stating the last five years.
I have not asked for the last five years! I asked for the last eleven years.

I do not know the facts regarding the last five years, however i know the reality of the last 10-5 years in that team.

The fact that i don't know the truth regarding the last five years to check your honesty, combined with your refusal to supply the information for the time period i have requested makes me think you are [unpleasant, extraneous and potentially defamatory material removed].

If you do not provide the information i want from 2008 then i will escalate this question and the fact You are [unpleasant, extraneous and potentially defamatory material removed]

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Jones,

Thank you for your further email requesting information since 2008. I am sorry that you feel the Health Board is being evasive regarding your request for information. As the Health Board had previously responded regarding the 2014-2019 time period, I thought it may be helpful to you to provide that information as it is already available.

We can of course provide information for the 2008-2013 time period and we will aim to respond to you again within 20 working days.

Yours sincerely,
