                Dear Sir/Madam

 

 

                I can confirm that NSS Information Service does not hold a
list with the information you requested, included here as follows:

 

“Can I have a list off all the medical centres NHS Scotland runs, with
preferably the name, location, max capacity of patients, the special
departments that are ran at that building e.g. Cardiac Surgery,
Neurosurgery, Traumatology and so on and so forth.”

 

                For the reason that we do not hold the information to
match what is in your request. we consider that an exemption applies,

that the NHS Boards cover found here on our website:

what you outlined in your request.
