Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from the trust.

I would like to know the number of patients recorded as being treated for injuries caused by a dog.

I was advised this may be possible to find by adding a request for the number of people bitten by a dog.

I would like these from across 2014-2017, up to the most recent piece of information available.

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.

My phone number is 01423 707 514 or email me here at [email address]
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 via email or phone and I will be happy to clarify what I am asking for, my details are outlined below.

Kind regards,
Alexander Beard
