Nipple Tattoo Request
Dear Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust,
I’m looking for information about Nipple and Areola Complex tattoos that are offered to breast cancer patients following mastectomy surgery.
The specific information I’m looking for is as follows;
1. What training requirements will a potential practitioner have to endure before they are considered qualified and capable of providing Nipple or areola tattoos for patients who have lost their Nipple or Areola Complex (NAC).
2. What is the individual cost to the NHS per unilateral nipple Tattoo.
3. What is the individual cost to the NHS per bilateral nipple Tattoos.
5. How many nipple tattoos were performed in total in 2019 and In 2020.
I appreciate there are additional strains now due to the pandemic so I'm happy to wait longer for responses. This data is important though, therefore I won't be withdrawing any requests at this time. Thanks in advance for the help.
Yours faithfully,
Lucy Thompson

Our NHS organisation is facing unprecedented challenges during the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Whilst we endeavour to fulfil our
obligations around FOI requests, we hope that you understand that
resources may be diverted away from usual compliance in the interests of
prioritising the current health emergency, and that you may experience
understandable delays when making information requests during this
extraordinary period.
