Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 267-2122
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. In order to respond to your request our information teams are seeking the below clarification:
• Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS FT are a Community and Mental Health Trust. Your request for information relates to Intensive Care Units, Accident & Emergency departments and Operating rooms. We therefore cannot answer both parts of Q2. This part of your request needs to be directed to the Acute Hospital, can we therefore suggest that you contact Gloucestershire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust who should be able to provide this information https://www.gloshospitals.nhs.uk/about-us/our-trust/freedom-information/.. Please can you confirm if you still wish Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS FT to answer Q1 and Q3?
Would you be able to provide clarification around the information you are expecting the response to include for this question?
Kind Regards,
