323 people
The figure provided is for the number of patients diagnosed with Read Code F25 Epilepsy.
With regards to how many have rescue medication prescribed/used, in accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested as the medications used as rescue medications for epilepsy can also be used for other indications.
