Dear Mark,

Thanks for getting in touch for clarification and apologies that my request was not clear. In relation to Question 1 I am interested in all deaths in all services you provide (inpatients and community services) and Question 3 is specifically related to patients with a learning disability, in all services that you provide.

Others have asked for clarification re timescales - I am happy to accept the data in whatever format it is easiest for the Trust to provide it (I'd assumed that it would be financial years with 2016-17 being year to date, however am happy to take calendar year if that is easier for you to provide).

Many thanks
George

Dear Mark,

No problem - I look forward to receiving your response in due course,

Best wishes
Dr George Julian
