Where we have given <5 answers, this is because NHS Shetland considers that providing
more specific information carries a high risk of identifying individuals. As such and in
accordance with FOISA s 16(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it holds the information
requested but that it is exempt from disclosure under FOISA s 38(1)(b) as read with s 38
(2A) as the information constitutes personal data and disclosure would breach the
confidentiality of the data subjects.
