Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Unfortunately this does not relate to Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust.
As this request relates to ICS a response would need to come from the CCG and not ourselves. I believe Kerry O’ Hara at the CCG is the ICS lead for this so is probably more appropriate to respond. Kind Regards,
