Dear Alison Stevens

The Trust has received your request, however, before we can proceed we require some clarification from you.

You have asked for

1. How much money has the Trust spent on Legal fees so far in the attempt to terminate the life support of child AB at the Royal London Hospital Whitechapel ?
2. Can you please forward me a copy of the Trust policy with reference to the Termination of patients life support?
3, How many cases have the Trust taken to Court in the past five calendar to terminate the life of a patient in their care?

We do not make court applications to "terminate life", therefore, please could you provide clarification on the questions above?

In accordance with the FOI Act and the FOI Code of Practice, your request will be put on hold while we wait your clarification and the clock restarted once sufficient clarification has been received. If we do not receive a clarification from you within 2 months of this email we will consider the request closed.

If you decide that you no longer require the information that you have requested, we would encourage you to withdraw your request so that our team can focus on other requests and our services can focus on other work.

Yours sincerely

Dear Alison

Thank you for your email requesting an internal review. We note that you
have not expressed any issues with decisions we have taken, therefore we
decline to conduct an internal review.

The Trust believes that we did not breach the compliance time and that we
complied with the Cabinet Office FOI Code of Practice when asking for
clarification. We responded as soon as we could, but we apologise that
processing the request took longer than you were anticipating.

We can see that you have made a further request for the information,
referenced FOI-0554-22, we can confirm that our initial response still
stands as the Trust has not yet received the information at the time of
your request. If you would like to withdraw this further request and make
another request in one month time, please could you inform us that you
would like to withdraw.

Kind regards
