- Response
We do not routinely record the requested data and to determine if we hold this information would require a manual trawl through paper records. This would constitute a disproportionate effort to retrieve and would exceed 18 hours. This information is therefore exempt on the grounds of cost (Section 12(1)). However, we can provide some information based on alcohol related attendance to A&E. Our Trust A&E systems do not record codes for ‘alcohol related illnesses’, they use the term ‘Apparently Drunk’, and the figures provided below are based on the term we use.
- <5 (Under 5 people)
This relates to a very small number of individuals and to provide further detail may breach their confidentiality. Therefore we are exempting this information as personal and applying section 40(2). - 16
