Hospital visits by Deputy Chief Medical Officer: FOI release
Information requested
A breakdown of hospital visits the Deputy Chief Medical Officer Graham Ellis has done from September 2021 to the present date.
Response
You may find it helpful to note that while Professor Graham Ellis is based in the Scottish Government and is supported by Scottish Government civil servants, ‘The Chief Medical Officer of the Scottish Administration’ is designated (at Part 2 of Schedule 1 of FOISA) as a wholly separate public authority from the Scottish Government (‘The Scottish Ministers’ are designated at Part 1 of Schedule 1). Some of the information within the scope of your request may be held by the Scottish Government or elsewhere, rather than by the office of the Chief Medical Officer. Therefore there may be elements of this request to which we cannot respond. If this is the case, we will suggest alternative points of contact. It should also be noted that requests for information submitted under FOISA cannot be transferred from one authority to another, therefore we cannot ask the Scottish Government, on your behalf, to respond.
In response to your request please find below the information sought.
