Brucella canis

Dear Dr Buckley,  

Thank you for your request which will be handled by the Information Rights
Team at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). We acknowledge receipt of
your email and request for information, which will be treated as a request
for information under statutory access legislation. UKHSA has taken
responsibility for statutory access requests addressed to Public Health
England and NHS Test and Trace Services. 

Please note that requests under the Freedom of Information Act and the
Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) will receive a response
within 20 working days from the day following the date of receipt of your
request. 

If the request is for your personal data, your request will be handled as
a data subject access request (SAR) under Article 15 of the UK General
Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), then we will respond within one
month of the receipt of the request. 

We will aim to address all requests promptly and within the required
response timeframes. However, when we are unable to meet the response
timeframe we will keep requesters updated on a revised expected timescale
for a response to their request. 

Yours sincerely,
Information Rights Team

Dear UKHSA,

This is a revised request based on previous requests for which limited
information was provided. I intend to appeal any refusal as the HAIRS
report version 2 has still not been published, and the public good of
withholding this information is tenuous given the increasing damage to the
mental wellbeing that is occurring to the many owners caught up in this
situation.

1. How many cases of human brucellosis, derived from Canine Brucellosis,
have been diagnosed in a UK-based citizen (any age) in each of the
following
years:
- 2020
- 2021
- 2022
- 2023 (include the date up to 26.08.2023)
 1.a. Please indicate how many of these cases involved. i. Children under
the age of 5 years, ii. Pregnant women, iii. immunocompromised people.
2. How many of these human cases required pharmaceutical treatment?
2.a. of these, how many fell into categories 1.a.i., 1.a.ii., or. 1.a.iii?

3. How many of these human cases required inpatient/hospitalisation as
part
of the treatment?
 3.a. of these, how many fell into categories 1.a.i., 1.a.ii., or.
1.a.iii?

4. How many of these cases resulted in the death of the individual?
4.a. of these, how many fell into categories 1.a.i., 1.a.ii., or. 1.a.iii?

Your sincerely,
