Dear Mr de Mello

Further to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the
Act) dated Monday 13 June 2022, I am writing to confirm the information

Response

Please Note:

PRUH = Princess Royal University Hospital

·         Your response has been split into sites across the Trust for
ease of reference.

·         *For the year 2012, the Trust did not routinely record the
information you have requested in a way that enables us to easily provide
the required information.  We calculate that to identify, extract and
collate the information you have requested from underlying records would
take well in excess of the cost and time limit of £450/18 hours set out in
the fees regulations to the Act.  Accordingly, we are withholding this
information as permitted by Section 12 of the Act. If you would like more
information on this exemption, please contact the FOI Office or see
