Dear Grampian NHS Board,

Please could you inform me

The number of patients within the NHS Grampian region receiving ongoing treatment for Pernicious Anaemia and other non dietary related vitamin B12 deficiencies. This may be either through number of patients registered as having the condition or number of patients regularly prescribed methylcobalmin injections on a 12 week or less cycle, as of the start of March 2020.

Could you also inform me how many of these patients have had the essential injections refused and replaced with b12 supplements in tablet form as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Yours faithfully,

George Harris
