I would be grateful if you would please forward email to me the following requested details.
Namely:
The named and titled expert lead PHW constituent official members and lead director of the ENVIRONMENTAL PUBLIC HEALTH TEAM,
together with the email and telephone contact details,
who are specifically responsible for air pollution matters and for associated public health related issues.
Thank you for your request dated 19th October 2023.
The lead director relating to these issues is our Director of Health Protection, Dr Giri Shankar.
Public Health Wales does not disclose individual staff members contact details. Section 40(2) of the FOI Act is applied to withhold the direct email and telephone number of Dr Shankar, in order to protect personal information governed by the Data Protection Act 2018.
Section 40 is an absolute exemption and there is therefore no requirement for a Public Interest Test in making the decision to withhold this information.
Under Section 16 (Advice and Guidance) you can contact Dr Shankar by emailing publichealth.environment@wales.nhs.uk
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of the decision, you should write to the Corporate Complaints Manager, Public Health Wales NHS Trust, 3, Number 2, Capital Quarter, Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF10 4BZ.
If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint or review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the Trust. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
