Freedom OF Information Act (FOIA): INTERNAL REVIEW CASE REFERENCE IR 1204385

We're waiting for Charlie444 to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

I note the comments in the response dated 8/4/20.

Since you have addressed me by my name, rather than Charlie444, which is obviously not a real name, I would have thought that you might have realised this was an error, rather than a request submitted under two "names". You could have at least had the courtesy to check with me......

Also note, the original request for a review was from D Brown....

The last communication, like the previous, was submitted via "What do they Know" website and the request is automatically "signed" with the username. On this occasion I forgot to amend it.

I therefore trust this clarifies the situation and you will progress with the review, as requested. Thank you

Yours faithfully,

D Brown

Dear Mr Brown,

Thank you for your further email.

The discrepancy between your names was noted. However, the name "Charlie" is not commensurate with the initial D in "D Brown". It is not for the Department to confirm names with requestors, especially when they are using two different email addresses to communicate with it ([email address] and [FOI #658613 email]). It is the requestor's responsibility to provide their real name, as set out in the Information Commissioner's guidance in my letter of 8 April.

DHSC now considers the matter closed and will not be conducting an internal review. If you wish to contact the Information Commissioner's Office, the contact details are available in the Department's previous letter to you (attached).

Please note that this email address is for FOI and internal review requests only, and is not an avenue with which to correspond with the Department. Any further emails on this topic may be logged but not responded to.

Yours sincerely,

Charlene Carter
Freedom of Information Casework Manager
