Where we have given <10 answers, this is because NHS Shetland considers that providing more specific information carries a high risk of identifying individuals – particularly as the request is for data about very specific procedures with a short timeframe. 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.
