Dear Ed, I have been advised by the Service that the Trust can provide usage figures i.e. the volume of Entyvio used but this cannot be linked to individual patients as this would only be recorded in individual patient charts. In relation to number of patients treated for Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, the Trust's information system can provide the number of patients whose primary or secondary diagnosis is recorded as Ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Would this information be acceptable to you?
Kind regards.
