Number of dog attacks in Aneurin Bevan University Health Board between 2010 & 2022

The request was partially successful.

Jonathan Rainey

Dear Aneurin Bevan University Health Board,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, can your health board provide annual numbers of people hospitalised in the health board area as a result of dog attacks (or more specifically, dog bites) between 2010 and 2022? If so, can you also provide data on the age range, gender and location (including health board area) of those who had to be hospitalised due to dog attacks?

Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Rainey

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of

We have been asked if you could please provide clarification as to what
you mean by ‘hospitalised’ please?
 
Is this inpatients (so patients admitted to a ward) or those attending
ED/A&E? Or both?
 
Regards
