SAFER-INFORMATION (DEVON PARTNERSHIP NHS TRUST), Devon Partnership NHS Trust

Hello Amber

Further to your request, I am writing to let you know that Devon Partnership NHS Trust requires further information. Section 1. (3) (a) of the Freedom Of Information Act provides that

“Where a public authority -

(a) reasonably requires further information in order to identify and locate the information requested, and
(b) has informed the applicant of that requirement,

The Trust is not obliged to comply with subsection (1) unless it is supplied with that further information.”

We currently publish information around waiting times on our website https://www.dpt.nhs.uk/our-services/gend... and the latest information is up to date.

The information in relation to waiting list to be transferred in, we are unlikely to hold in a format in which we can record on and would possibly look to exempt the questions under S.12 of the act.

Can we check around wanting first appointment information in the last 28 days normally we work on the basis of a calendar month, can you clarify you are specifically wanting information relevant to the last 28 days

If you could clarify your questions we can then look to assist you

Dear SAFER-INFORMATION (DEVON PARTNERSHIP NHS TRUST),

In regards to questions 2 and 4, I am happy to exclude these for now and will explore in another request later if I becomes essential.

In regards to questions 1 and 3, I am more than happy to receive them in relation to calendar month, and would be grateful if could include the last few months for greater clarity.

Yours sincerely,

Amber Smith
