1. Please confirm the number of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsies undertaken in the 2023 calendar year?

<5

We have given an <5 answer as NHS Shetland considers that providing more specific information carries a high risk of identifying, or disclosing information about, 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.
