OVERALL TOTAL EATING DISORDER PATIENTS IN TRUST
NHS Shetland has no inpatient or day patient specialist services for eating disorders. NHS Shetland has a Service Level Agreement with NHS Grampian for the provision of inpatient services. NHS Grampian will hold data on inpatient admissions.
In addition to the table above, there were transfers of <5 patients in 2019 and 2022 to specialist eating disorder units in NHS Grampian
Where we have given <5 answers this is because NHS Shetland considers that providing more specific information carries a high risk of identifying individuals and/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.
- The number of patients in total with an eating disorder that have died of any cause so far this year and in each of the past 5 years.
0

N/A
