Data collected from pathology hubs and information regarding proposals for pathology hubs

The request was for the data collected from pathology departments in England which was used to base the original decision as to where pathology hubs should be located and any alternative proposals to the networks proposed in September 2017 received between September 2017 and 1 December 2017.

NHS Improvement held the information requested but decided to withhold the information it held on the basis of the exemptions in sections 22 and 43 of the FOI Act.
