I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request a detailed breakdown of the hospital beds within your jurisdiction. Specifically, I would like the following information in an Excel format (1 row per service):
A list of all hospitals within your board area. My preference is for this to be provided using the same "Location Code" and "Location Name" as specified by the national reference files on the Public Health Scotland website, so that I can accurately identify each hospital.
For each hospital, please provide:
- The total number of beds.
- A breakdown of total number of beds by bed types, as coded by the national definitions listed by the NHS here:
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 25(1) as the information requested is accessible without submitting a request under FOISA s 1(1). The information you have requested is available here:
