Dear Highland NHS Board,
Thank you very much for your response.
As for some months it is not possible to indicate specific number of appointments/referrals due to data protection regulations, I was wondering if you could share total number of appointments/referrals throughout the year (rather than broken down by month) in the points 2 and 3?
Thanks again.
Yours sincerely,
Steven Brown
