Where we have provided <5 answers this is because NHS Shetland considers that providing more specific information carries a high risk of identifying (or disclosing information about)

individual patients. 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.
