Dear Ms Scott
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 I refer to your e-mail dated 10 September 2024, requesting:
“1- When will you be implementing a tier 3 weight management service?
2- When will nhs grampian be prescribing GLP-1 RA medications for weight loss?”
I can now respond as follows:
1- When will you be implementing a tier 3 weight management service?
NHS Grampian currently offer some Tier 3 weight management programmes.
2- When will nhs grampian be prescribing GLP-1 RA medications for weight
loss?
NHS Grampian is currently discussing how it might be possible to prescribe GLP-1 RA
medications for weight loss in line with relevant guidance. However, it is not yet possible to
provide a timescale for this.
Under section 20 (1) of the Act, if you are dissatisfied with the way NHS Grampian has
dealt with your request, you have a right to request a review of our actions and decisions
in relation to your request. Should you be unhappy with the outcome of that review you
have a right to appeal to the Scottish Information Commissioner.
A request for review must be made within 40 working days and should, in the first
instance, be in writing to: Directorate of Corporate Communications, Foresterhill House,
Foresterhill, Aberdeen, AB25 2ZB or by email to
xxxx.xxx@xxx.xxxx
Requests for appeal can be made by using the Scottish Information Commissioner’s online
service a
t www.itspublicknowledge.info/Appeal or should be made in writing to: Scottish
Information Commissioner, Kinburn Castle, Doubledykes Road, St Andrews, Fife, KY16
9DS Telephone: 01334 464610, Fax: 01334 464611.
If you remain dissatisfied following an appeal to the Scottish Information Commissioner
your recourse is to the Court of Session on a point of law.
Yours sincerely
