Dear Thomas Rose 

We acknowledge your request for information about surgical procedures .
Your request was received on 26/01/2024 and we are dealing with it under
the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) came into being on 1st
April 2006 and assumed responsibility for the services provided by both
the Queen's Medical Centre (QMC) and Nottingham City Hospital NHS Trust
(NCH).

In your request you asked for 1) The total number of patients that have
been treated at all your hospitals for botched non-surgical procedures for
quarter 2 of 2023-2024. 2) The total cost of treating botched non-surgical
procedures at all your hospitals for quarter 2 of 2023-2024. 3) The total
number of patients that all of your hospitals have referred to private
clinics to treat botched non-surgical procedures for quarter 2 of
2023-2024.

Unfortunately we are unable to identify/locate the information you have
requested from the details you have provided. To help us meet your request
could you please clarify  so that we can process your request. We will not
be able to take this matter further without extra information from you. 

The request from the FOI Leads is can you clarify what you mean by
"botched" ? Patients  who have had "botched" non-surgical procedures are
not recorded in that way. To find this information we would need to look
through every single patient within this time period which would take an
exceptionally  long time and resources.  

If you wish to discuss any of the above then please contact us. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

A clarified request represents a new request for information.  The 20
working day response period will not start until a satisfactory reply
constituting a valid request is received.  If no response is received
within two months the request will be considered closed.

If you are unhappy with the response you have received and wish to make an
appeal against our decision, you should write to

Head of Information Governance/Data Protection Officer
