Dear Ms Mitchell

Thank you for your Freedom of Information Request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

In order to determine if any were overturned we would need to access all the case notes.

For the years prior to that we would need go through the archived records to give an idea of any numbers

In this instance, Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit. In this case the cost to release the information would incur costs of over £450 (18 hours) in order to comply, as the information you have requested is not classified in the categories you require.

If you are not satisfied with the response you have received in relation to your request and wish to request a review or make a complaint, you should write to the Trust Data Protection Officer/Head of Information Governance, Parkview Offices, Royal Blackburn Hospital, Haslingden Road, Blackburn, BB2 3HH. Tel: 01254 82122 . Email: [East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust request email]

If you are not content with the outcome of our review, you may apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF.
