Dear Mr Rainey
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 I refer to your e-mail dated 9 September 2024 requesting:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002, can your Health Board reveal the annual number of hospital admissions due to heart
attacks in the health board area from 2013 to 2023? If so, can the data be broken down to
include the Age and Gender of those admitted for heart attacks?
I can now respond as follows:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Freedom of Information (Scotland)
