    op - let's just see it one more time in final draft form before you send it, please.

    It never matters how many times it has to be fine-tuned, but a good, strong, error-free letter shows them what they're up against.

    Personally, I would stick to the tried and tested methods of not a GPEOL, contract with landowner etc, as PE seem to be folding at first sight of a robust forum-assisted challenge, as they know they will lose at POPLA.


    Interesting one about the landowner & contract.


    Presumably, as the land is Public Property then the contract will be with the Secretary of State for Health

    No, it is with the local Hospital/NHS Trust.

    That's interesting. I know that a few years ago all NHS hospitals were deemed to be "crown land", i.e. owned by the government. One quirk about that was that various Factory Acts and other safety legislation did not apply to these places. This was because the government could not sue itself if those acts were breached.

    The contract I got from a FOI is in the name of the Trust. The contract is dated from 1998, although it is still valid according to the hospital (40 year contract).
