I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the Authority. Under the act I have a duty to advise and assist you and with regard to that duty you need to be aware that documents and correspondence in respect of applications for listing of appliances in Part IX of the Drug Tariff are supplied to the Authority for the purposes of making a listing decision and following the addition of an item to the Drug Tariff (or its rejection) all information is returned to the Department of Health. It would seem, therefore, that your request would be more appropriately addressed to the Department of Health. You can make an FOI request to them by sending an e-mail to [email protected] and marking it ?Freedom of Information?. If, however, you would like me to do this for you, please get back in touch and I will action accordingly. Magnopulse Ltd. provided a number of documents to the Authority in support of the application to list 4UlcerCare in Part IX of the Drug Tariff. These documents were used in the Authority's evaluation of the application against the three criteria for the inclusion of products in Part IX. I believe that three of the documents are available on the manufacturer's website at (www.magnopulse.com).
