LBC - Malnutrition Stats - From July 2024
Good afternoon,
I am writing from LBC Radio with a request under the Freedom of Information Act. Specifically, I am hoping to ask the following:
Q1: Since July 2024, how many people were admitted to hospitals within your trust or health board with either a primary or secondary diagnosis of malnutrition?
Q2: If it does not exceed the FOI cost threshold, could I also ask how many people were admitted to hospitals within your trust or health board with a primary or secondary diagnosis of either Rickets, Osteomalacia or Scurvy? Please provide a breakdown of the number of incidents of each illness. Again, we are looking for the figure since July 2024.
Please accept my apologies in advance if this enquiry is not relevant to your health board/trust; if that is the case, please do confirm it an email.
Kind Regards,
Fraser Knight
