Dear Sir / Madam
Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in responding to
yourself.
Further to your recent Freedom of Information (FOI) requests regarding
prostate surgery I write to advise that a large amount of the day to day
work of the Secondary Care teams and senior health board management is to
try to reduce waiting times for patients. Therefore there will have been
an enormous amount of information created as a result. Including reports,
meeting minutes, analysis documents etc.
The Health Board would therefore like to offer to meet with you to discuss
the questions outlined in your requests as we feel this may be the most
useful outcome for yourself therefore, contact details for Mr Nigel Lee
and Ms Jill Newman are provided below.
Mr Nigel Lee, Secondary Care Director
[1][email address]

Ms Jill Newman, Director of Performance
