The process for approving the implementation of The Pause Programme and data from the project since commencement

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear Dundee Health and Social Care Partnership,

1. Please confirm who (professional designation) or which group approved the delivery of The Pause Programme in Dundee.
2. Specifically, please confirm that the project was checked to meet with NHS ethical guidelines, in particular, that the following is ethical: when NHS staff provide long acting reversable contraception (LARC) to women the staff do so in the knowledge that the patient is told other health and social care support will cease should the women decline LARC.
3. If ethical approval was provided for this intervention, please confirm by whom/which group provided ethical approval (this is different from point 1 if the persons from point 1 did not consider or provide clinical ethical oversight). If explicit ethical approval has not been granted for delivery of this intervention, please confirm.
4. Please confirm how many women have been referred to Pause since the project began.
5. Please confirm how many women have received LARC throught their involvement in Pause.
6. Please confirm if any women have declined LARC.

Yours sincerely
