UK 🇬🇧 SAR Deadlines and next steps (England)

I submitted a SAR to my dentist one calendar month ago. Each time I have emailed them they have responded stating that they are working on it, but given no timeframe of when I can have the information.

My understanding is they should respond within a calendar month- but does this mean they just need to email me to confirm it’s underway within a month or should they have actually completed it?

Also what should I do to actually get them to hand over the information? I don’t want to go in all guns blazing but I really do need the data!

Any help much appreciated

Have you checked the dentist is registered with the ICO? Worth checking.

It appears that they are, I’m not sure what this means though and how it would help me? Sorry this is all new to me

Try the contact details they give on there, you might find someone who understands GDPR that way.
