Dear Sir/Madam,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - SECTION 8 REQUEST

I am writing regarding your request for information dated 19/04/2024. In
order to process your request, we will need to seek some further
information from you.

As per the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (below) and ICO guidance, all
FOI requests must include the requester’s full name in order to be
considered a valid request under Section 8 of the Act
([1]https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/foi...).
Requesters must provide enough of their real name to give anyone reading
that request a reasonable indication of their identity in order to be
valid under section 8(1)(b).

I would be grateful if you could please provide your full name in order
for us to process your request.

Furthermore, in order to identify the information you have requested, I
would be grateful if you could please clarify the following:

1. This question relates to the London Care Record where patients' records
are shared around various areas (in and outside London).

Please contact Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust for information regarding
the London Care Record.
2. Private sector spending
How much did the Trust spend on private sector healthcare and beds (for
example, Southside Partnership including Certitude, Priory, Cygnet) for
the last 5 years?

Please can you confirm if this refers to Financial Years (01 April – 31
March)?

3. Diagnoses
a) How many are on waiting lists across the Trust for assessment and
diagnosis of the following conditions? How long until they can expect to
receive an assessment? How long after that until they can expect to
receive treatment?
- Autism
- Borderline Personality Disorder (EUPD)
- ADHD
- PTSD/cPTSD

Please can you confirm if you are interested in adult and/or children’s
mental health services?

Please note that we are unable to provide this information for Borderline
Personality Disorder or PTSD as this would require manually reviewing
patient records and would greatly exceed the appropriate cost/time limit
under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act, as well as breach
Section 40.

Please note that we are unable to confirm at this time whether we hold or
will be able to provide the requested information under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act. Due to the nature of the information you are
requesting, please be aware that your request may still exceed the
appropriate cost/time limit as per Section 12 of the FOI Act (subsequent
to clarification).

Please provide me with a response by 13/05/2024. Once we have received the
further clarification needed, we will be able to process your request
further. However, please note that in the meantime your request will be
placed on hold.

Kind regards,

Information Governance Office
