I submitted Freedom of Information requests to Buckinghamshire Council, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (BOBICB), and FedBucks (the local GP provider).
I think your request has somewhat "fallen between two stools" in that ICB can't commission a new provider with no new premises.
I would resubmit Request 1 to the council as:
"Any details of internal discussions, including copies of meeting notes, minutes, Microsoft Copilot summaries, etc regarding the construction of new health service premises for residents of..."
On questions 1, 2 and 3, the response from the ICB is evasive; you asked for the information, not assurances. So, I would resubmit with a similar wording:
"Any details of internal discussions, including copies of meeting notes, minutes, Microsoft Copilot summaries, etc regarding the provision of..."
Note the time/effort limitations on FOI requests! Don't ask for too much each time.

Thank you. That is great advice.
I have not been well through the Winter so I held off on trying a new submission. I will take your advice when I submit new requests later this month.
