Unexplained Fractures in Babies

Gwrthodwyd y cais gan Cleveland Police.

Dear Cleveland Police,

Please could you provide all statistical data you hold, in relation to fractures in babies, going back from 2011 to whatever date is reasonable.

I am particularly interested in

1. The Local Authority Area
2. Name of the Hospital
3. Whether the Fractures had an organic explanation. (If so what was the cause eg. Brittle bones, Vitamin D deficiency etc)
4. Whether the Fractures were recorded as non accidental.
5. Whether a criminal trial ensued.
6. Whether the child was adopted.
7. Whether the child died from the injuries.

I appreciate that it may not be possible to provide all the above listed information however I would be grateful to receive whatever information you have available and signposting towards other organisations who may hold the relevant data.

Yours faithfully,

B McKenzie

MCDOUGALL, Anthony \(C7861\),

|We are not in a position to retrieve this information. Crimes are recorded |
|using Home Office codes on Iris. They may have recorded under any of the |
|offences under Offences Against the Person Act. To retrieve it would require |
|all records to be manually searched. |
| |
|This would require in excess of the appropriate time stipulated by the |
|Secretary of State, that is, eighteen hours. This falls under the exemption of|
|'Compliance exceeding the appropriate limit' covered by Section 12 (1) of the |
|Freedom of Information Act 2000 and as such this work could not be undertaken.|
|Therefore please treat this as a refusal notice under S17 of the Freedom of |
|information Act |
| |
|If you are not satisfied with this response or any actions taken in dealing |
|with your request you have the right to request that we review your case under|
|our review procedure. |
