No. of transmitted diseases and vaccinations administered
Questions
Request the following data (in Excel format) for the last ten calendar years (2013-2023) - if 10 years of data are unavailable, please send for as many years as possible:
- The total number of reported cases for each of the following diseases within your NHS Trust, broken down by year:
- If applicable, the total number of vaccinations administered for each of the diseases, broken down by year.
Response
The Trust does hold all of the information you have requested, however we are withholding some of it for the following reasons:
Section 40 – Personal Information
Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) allows public authorities to withhold personal data where it is protected under the Data Protection Act.
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified living individual.
We have therefore withheld the exact number of patients where this is 5 or less (replaced with the <6 symbol), as this could be potentially identifiable and as such is protected from disclosure by Section 40 (2) of the FOI Act.
