NHS Shetland has one hospital, the Gilbert Bain in Lerwick

Where we have given a <5 response, this is because NHS Shetland considers that providing more specific information carries a high risk of identification. 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.
