Cancelled appointments with obstetric consultants

The request was successful.

Dear University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

I'd like to make an FoI request regarding the following:

1) How many women with high risk pregnancies had their appointments with obstetric consultants at University College Hospital cancelled in the years 2013, 2014 and 2015?

2) How many women with high risk pregnancies in the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 did not see an obstetric consultant at all at University College Hospital?

Yours faithfully,

Is the requester interested in all of them in total?

of this correspondence being sent then we shall assume that you no longer

I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
