Dear Julie Mann (Velindre - Corporate Services),
I can confirm that 'DNA rate' is an abbreviation for 'Do Not Attend Rate.' Please can the Trust provide their most recent DNA data across 1 year. For example, DNA rate from January 2017 - December 2017?
Many thanks and looking forward to receiving the Trusts responses.
Yours sincerely,
