Trust statistics on spiking
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am emailing with a Freedom of Information request, regarding digital discharge summaries. My query is:
Where a freetext search is possible, how many digital discharge summaries included any of the terms “spiked”, “spike” or “spiking" over the past 5 calendar years, and the year to date. Please provide data for each year:-
1) 2018
2) 2019
3) 2020
4) 2021
5) 2022
6) 2023 - latest available data - please specify period
Thank you in advance for your help with this query.
Yours faithfully,
Will Hecker
Dear Will Hecker
Thank you for your request for information from Airedale NHS Foundation Trust. Your request has been given the Reference Number ANHSFT REF 6288.
We will now proceed to process the request. The deadline date for issuing you with a full response is 17/5/2023. We will try to respond to you before this date and we will contact you if we envisage delays or if we need more information from you.
Please note that under the Freedom of Information Act, some information can be subject to exemptions, which means that the Trust does not have to provide the information requested. Some exemptions are “absolute” such as personal information and some only apply where the “public interest” in maintaining the exemption, outweighs that of providing the information.
In some cases, where identifying, retrieving and processing the requested information requires more time than the “appropriate cost limit” of two and half days work, we may refuse the request or we can charge a fee. If the latter is the case, I will let you know and a Fees Notice will be issued to you. In that case you would need to pay the fee before we proceeded with your request, but we will offer assistance and advise you if, by modifying your request, we could provide you with some non-exempt or free of charge information.
Please contact me, quoting the Reference Number above, with any questions you might have about your request.
With kind regards
Craig Randles
