Child Admissions Super Output Areas
Dear Birmingham Children’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,
I would like information regarding admissions to your hospital or others in your trust relating to children age 0-11 years. It would be helpful to have this information broken down into age groups, super output area of residence and what they were admitted for. This would be useful for the years 2010 to 2014 up to present time.
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Liz Savage

Dear Liz
Thank you for your request. However it is very broad and I should be grateful if you could narrow your request.
I will stop the clock until I receive your amended request.
Kind regards

Dear Freedom Of Information (RQ3) BCH,
Thank you.
Yes, I should have clarified originally. I would like only figures for Birmingham local authority broken down into Super Output areas (e.g. E01009075) or specific areas such as 'Erdington'.
I would like as much data as is possible for these specific smaller areas and for the years possible but specifically 2012 to 2014.
Does that make it easier or is this still too broad?
Yours sincerely,
Liz Savage

Dear Freedom Of Information (RQ3) BCH,
Thank you for this information. You referred to a further option in my letter of having the data broken into the first three letters of the postcode. This would be very useful and I ask therefore whether I can have this?
Thank you again
