NHS Shetland uses the ICD 10 coding system. Figures provided are for the number of inpatients where the given ICD 10 code was listed as Main Condition or Other Condition.
- Can I have the figures for admissions to the Gilbert Bain Hospital through alcohol misuse?
I am looking for information to cover a span of five calendar years (with figures for each year: 2018-2023). I would like those stats to be broken down by age beginning with under 12, 13-17, 18-25, 26-65 and over 65.

Where we have given <5 answers, this is because NHS Shetland considers that providing more detail 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.
