to question one. I have asked the Head of Information Governance to carry
out that review and they will respond, once it is completed.
You asked

Plymouth NHS Trust hospitals from 1st January 2020 to 31st March 2021?
This is only to include patients who have had Covid-19 tests and have not
died with pre-existing conditions.
We do not hold the information requested. The Medical Certificate Cause
of Death (MCCD) is a document which is issued by a doctor to the
registrar.

National Statistics as they may be able to assist you. Please find the
