Dear Mr Martin
Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
I am writing to you further to your request for information about:
Number of hernia operations carried out at Barnet Hospital annually
The Trust has examined the records held within the Information department and below is a table showing the number of operations in 2005/06 and 2006/07. I have not included figures for 2007/08 as we were experiencing difficulties with our new Patient Administration (PAS) computer system which led to some reporting and data inaccuracies.
Year |
Barnet Hospital |
2005/06 |
473 |
2006/07 |
467 |
I trust that I have dealt with your request to your satisfaction. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further queries or if I can be of further assistance.
This information has been held by the Trust for its own purposes and is published to you pursuant to the Trust's obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Any further use or publication by you of this material is at your own risk and it is your responsibility to check the accuracy and appropriateness of the material for your purposes.
Finally, I enclose an evaluation form which I would be very grateful if you could complete and return to me so that we can continually improve our Publication Scheme and the way that we deal with requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act.
Yours sincerely
Alison Macdonald
Board Secretary
