 Dear Mr Haslam

 Thankyou for your email dated 18 August in response to our letter dated 13 August in which you asked

1. to have an Internal Review into the handling of the Department’s response issued by Genevieve Lobo; and

2. to process  a more detailed/ refined request for information/correspondence, minutes  and agendas of meetings between the review manager, Anne Grosskurth, the Drug Mis-use team and stakeholders, the scope of the NAC literature review and  PCT’s sampled for audit & relevant statistics etc.

We will aim to respond to you within the next 20 working days. Please  note that we will be dealing with points 1 & 2 above separately.

 Yours sincerely
