I want to submit a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please could you provide the following information for your Trust for the financial years 2022-23 and 2023-24:
- The total number of patients who developed pressure sores (also known as bed sores or pressure ulcers) during their stay.
- This figure as a percentage of all patients admitted to beds at the trust.
Please note:
- If the data cannot be provided for all patients admitted to beds, please provide any available data on bed sore incidence in hospital inpatients.
