Pressure sores
Dear Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust,
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.
- If some of the requested data is unavailable or cannot be provided in the specified format, I am happy to receive partial data or guidance on refining my request.
- I would also appreciate the data in Excel or CSV format if possible.
All the best,
Jamie Dixon

Dear FOI Officer,
Thank you for your response. For this request, I am referring to inpatients across all wards within the trust, including acute wards. If it is possible to provide the data for all wards, that would be ideal. However, if the data is more readily available for specific ward types (e.g., acute wards), I am happy to receive that as well.
Thanks,
Jamie
