Discharges from Mental Health services
Dear NHS FOI team,
am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information in regards to discharges from mental health services. I am looking for the following information:
1. The number of patients discharged from mental health services each tax year for the last five years.
2. The number of these patients discharged for not attending appointments or engaging with treatments.
3. The number of these patients diagnosed with personality disorders (Groups A, B and C).
Please provide the above information digitally, preferably in the form of an excel spreadsheet.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under your Section 16 obligations, as to how I can refine my request to be included in the scope of the Act.
In any case, if you can identify ways that my request could be refined please provide further advice and assistance to indicate this.
I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as stipulated by the Act.
If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to clarify what I am asking for.
Yours faithfully,
Kirsty Card
