Narrative:

I received a computer notification of MEL item M28-22-01A for an inoperative left main boost pump 11 mins after the aircraft was off the ground. It is a dispatcher approval required item. The pilot and the maintenance coordinator failed to advise the dispatcher of this item. A local company follow-up report has been filed. Specific procedures are outlined in the MEL that the crew should have followed.
