Number of babies born between 26th April 2024 and 29th April 2024 = <5

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