Given the small numbers of patients involved; the specific and sensitive nature of the health conditions referred to; the size of Shetland’s population; the specific treatments; and the short timeframe, NHS Shetland considers that providing any answers to questions 1 and 2 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.
