Dear B McKenzie, 
 
Thank you for your request for statistical data in relation to fractures in babies, going back from 2011. 
You have specifically requested the following. 
 
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 am able to confirm that your request has been processed under the terms of the Freedom of 
Information Act 2000 (FOI) and following enquiries within the Constabulary, I have been advised that 
the specific information requested is not held by Hertfordshire Constabulary. 
 
You may wish to make an enquiry with the Hertfordshire Health Authority. 
 
 
 
 
 Yours sincerely, 
 
Alice Duarte
