Request and Response

1.    How many people have received any sort of mental health treatment from the health board, whose housing status is listed as ‘no fixed abode’ in the 2022 – 2023 fiscal year?

<5

We have given a <5 answer 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.
