Dear Sir or Madam,
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000/

I am currently undertaking research into Benzodiazepine use and
Ethnicity so Attached for your reference in the appendix of this

interested in by chemical name and their brand name.

drug and corresponding to the ethnicity of the patient.
Please can you examine all in-patient prescription charts* in the

and lastly their statistical age breakdown and gender (if possible)
nb: or However the data is stored, as most recent at a minimum
possible for at least for the past year
I am happy to have the above information provided to me in
electronic format (Either an excel sheet, word file or .pdf)
