2. How many times was a patient admitted as an emergency and treated for the condition their RTT pathway related to during their emergency stay, therefore ending the RTT pathway?

In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested. Our database does not record this information

3. How many times did an RTT pathway end due to a patient's death?

For all of the above, please base this on a count of pathways, ie if a patient left pathways for two conditions, count this as two patients having left an RTT pathway/two pathways ending.
