Response 1
There was one patient admitted in 2209/10 with the primary diagnosis code for Anorexia. No patients were admitted in other years.
Due to the minimal numbers or patients in this response, further information relating to the patients age and gender will not be released under Section 40 (3(aii) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, as releasing this information may lead to the undue stress of families and patients as this information may still lead to patients being identified. Therefore this information has not been released for reasons of confidentiality; compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 40(3) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as the Trust believes that providing the information would be in breach of the 2nd and 6th Data Protection Principles.
