Dear Somerset NHS Foundation Trust,
Please can you give figures for each of the last 5 years ie 2018-2022
• Total live births
• Total still births
• Total intrapartum still births
• Total neonatal deaths to 28 days
• Total preterm births (<37 weeks)
• Total maternal deaths
• Total maternal collapses / cardiac arrests
• Total postpartum haemorrhage >1.5l
• Evacuation of retained products of conception (ERPCs)

• Do you record covid-19 vaccination status in your electronic maternity records?
If possible for 2021 & 2022 could you give all of the above data by covid vaccination status (0/1/2/3/4 doses) or state if you do not record vaccination status.
If some information is not available, I would be grateful for any information you can give.
Yours faithfully,
Ros Jones

Good afternoon
For us to process your request, please can you provide us with the definition of intrapartum stillbirth? There are a couple of different definitions. I.e including latent phase/waters breaking or just established labour, so we thought it would be best to check. Also, would you like us to include preterm intrapartum still births or just from 37 weeks?
When we hear back from you, we will be able to start processing your request again.
Yours sincerely
Mia

Dear Mia (FOI)
Many thanks.
Please include all intrapartum stillbirths including those under 37 weeks. Please use whichever definition is used in your internal reporting system so as not to cause you extra work. I simply need to know the definiton you have used and for it to be constant for the 5 years for comparison.
Many thanks,
Yours sincerely,
Ros Jones
Dear Ms Jones
Before the Trust receives and processes your request, can you please confirm that you are only submitting this request for your personal use or that of an unstructured group and that you are using your real name? We would draw your attention to the ICO guidance here: https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio.... If you are making this request as an agent on behalf of another party for example an employee on behalf of employer, you need to declare the company’s name. A request which only includes the real name of the agent will be invalid.
Please note: The Trust cannot assess fair processing without your response to this email. We will not receive or process your request without clarification. We will not send you a reminder letter and the Trust will close your case after two months. Additionally, there is no right of appeal with the ICO, if the real name of any organisation you work for is not used. etc
Yours sincerely

Dear Sir/Madam
Please find attached response to your FOI request from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
Yours faithfully

Head of Information Governance/Data Protection Officer
Dear Louise,
Can I just double check, there was a previous response received from Yeovil Hospital on 29th April but I see they have now merged with Somerset so does the data in this response include both Musgrove Park and Yeovil or is it just for Musgrove Park?
Many thanks,
Ros Jones
Good afternoon
I have just reviewed your request and I can't see that we ever received this request for Yeovil hospital. As we received your request before the 01/04/2023, Somerset NHS Foundation Trust's response would not have included Yeovil's data.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can help any further.
Yours sincerely
Mia
