Request and Response

Please could you answer the following for:

a. the last year

b. the year before and

c. 2019

  1. In your Health Board area, how many patients attended an emergency department with either pregnancy related nausea/vomiting/sickness or Hyperemesis Gravidarum? (for clarity I'm after the total number, I'm just aware that recording of the condition can vary)

In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested as emergency department attendances are not coded with this information.

  1. How many of those emergency attendances led to hospital admission?
