Dear Joe,

Unfortunately I am not able to break this information down by year, this is due to the fact the services who purchased the equipment have only been part of the Trust since April 2011 the information would be held by the organisations who previously owned the services.
I am sorry I could not be of any further help

Yours sincerely,

Laura McCoy
