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.
- How many patients have you treated in the last 4 months for acute migraine with:
• Rimegepant (Vydura)
In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested.
- Does the trust actively initiate a treatment pause (usually at 12 months) of anti-CGRP (calcitonin gene-related peptide inhibitors) migraine treatment with the aim to re-start treatment if the patient continues to fit the criteria (Yes/No)?
No
