Trust statistics on spiking

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust did not have the information requested.

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
