Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Ref No: 21-210

 

Response to request dated 25/06/2021 made under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.

 

We would like to apologise for the delay in responding, unfortunately we
are experiencing a backlog due to current capacity issues within the team.

 

Questions and Response:

 

Could you please provide the number of COVID related deaths which occurred
in the hospital trust in 2020, where the deceased had no co morbidities.

 

257 people died in 2020 with COVID-19 recorded as Part 1a or Part 1b on
their death certificate. We are not able to provide information on how
many of these people had comorbidities. Reviewing the health records of
257 people to determine this would take us over the cost limit of the
Freedom of Information Act (Section 12).
