Please include in the data, all referrals to hospitals and services within your trust, from patients in area and out of area

Please include referrals from primary care eg from GPs and also from within secondary care eg from paediatrician to cardiologist etc

I believe this information should be readily accessible from computerised systems, so I do not anticipate this request exceeding the time/cost limit for FOI requests, however, if the time/cost limit is exceeded, please provide as much information as possible within the time/cost limit, prioritising the requested information from top to bottom of the list and I shall request the remainder of the data after 60 days.
