FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
REFERENCE: 202-2122 Good morning Would you be able to help with the below FOI request? Or could you please point me in the right direction as to who this should be sent to? Would it be best sent to the BI Team as the request relates to data? I would be grateful if you could kindly arrange for this information to be provided to me as soon as possible or no later than the 14th September 2021. If the information in the freedom of information request is commercially sensitive then please note the same on the response.
FOI Request – Information requested:
I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:
1. How many patients on the cancer pathway started treatment within the 62 days and over 62 days, from urgent GP referral to starting treatment in each month of 2020 and 2021. 2. How many patients referred under the 2 weeks wait pathway were seen within 14 days in each month of 2020 and 2021.
3. How many patients started cancer treatment in each month of:
• 2019
• 2020
• 2021
If you are not the correct person to respond to part/all of the request, I would be grateful if you could let me know as soon as possible, and suggest who I need to send it to or forward it onto the person in question and copy me in.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 states that the respondent has 20 working days to reply to the query and if it takes longer than 20 working days to collate the information, the responder can ask the requester to grant discretionary extension of time up to a maximum of further 20 working days. Please let me know if it is likely that you will be unable to provide the relevant information to me by the above deadline.
The act also allows the respondent to reject or charge the requester for the request if it would take 18 or more working hours to deal with the request e.g. locating, retrieving, extracting the information. which would cost the respondent at least £450 charging at £25 per hour.. If you could please let me know whether or not it may take 18 or more working hours to provide the information, so that I am able to send a fee note to the requester, as appropriate.
