This is a really bad idea and I don't recommend anyone carries these cards made by translucent.

There are 6 practices (tomorrow will make 7) which we have FOIed which have completely failed to respond, the ICO has issued decision notices to, and they still have given us nothing.
Not sure what happens here, as far as we can tell this kind of thing has never happened with an FOI request?

This is so enraging. Apparently people in Sunderland just don't get certain kinds of healthcare. 274,200 people arbitrarily denied it on the whims of bigots.
@theabigailthorn.bsky.social talks about the need for professional consequences a lot. I want the names of the people who made this decision.

This is after an official diagnosis and having gone through all proper channels and then still denied healthcare in direct contravention of human/equal rights laws in the UK.
The UK is a failed state under control of fascists.

We spent a morning this week traveling around brum, hand delivering FOI letters to a few unresponsive practices (also because we didn't know we had to get proof of delivery first time)

"it doesn't answer any of the questions I sent" is a sentence I've found myself emailing variants of a depressing number of times recently to GPs

More radicals should just be annoying as hell tbh. It's kind of my only strategy at the minute
And damn the ICO website is not set up to be used for mass FOI complaints. Only 64 more to submit
