After numerous requests it turned up on June 6, minus the correspondence for the critical two months in which the change of heart happened. They rang to say it was an oversight. We asked for all information immediately. The OUH this week said it would not be given until after Thursday’s Oxfordshire HOSC meeting which will discuss the deal. We would love to hear readers’ views on why there might be such a delay.
