Learning Disability Deaths recorded during the pandemic

The request was successful.

Dear Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (Northern Ireland),

Please could you advise me of how many learning disability deaths have been recorded for those with a learning disability who lived at home from the start of the pandemic to date and after the vaccines have been rolled out how many deaths were recorded?

Yours faithfully,

Tracey Gilliland

Good afternoon Tracey,

 

Apologies, for the delay in providing a response to your FOI request.  We
will get back to you as soon as we can.

 

During this Covid-19 Pandemic, Health and Social Care is experiencing
unprecedented pressures.

 

As a Trust, our staff are prioritising their duties as front line health
and social care workers. Other duties within their role, such as
investigating and responding to FOI requests, will be significantly
delayed due to the need to prioritise professional caring duties and
respond to the health crisis.

Kind regards,

Hayley
