GHNHSFT - Redirect

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000:

I would be grateful if you could provide the number of pregnancies recorded for women whose address was GL12 8DB (HMP Eastwood Park) for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

I would be grateful if you could also provide the number of pregnancies resulting in spontaneous miscarriage recorded for women whose address was GL12 8DB (HMP Eastwood Park) for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if this could be provided in a spreadsheet format.
If providing all this information is not possible under the appropriate time limit, before exercising Section 12 I would ask you to recognise Section 45 of the act also requires you to advise how they can bring the request within the acceptable limit, so as not to breach Section 16 (advice and assistance).
Ahead of time, I would like to make clear I consent to any refinements to this request so that some information may be provided.

On behalf of Merck, the healthcare company, we are currently conducting national research into access to MRI diagnostics for people with neurological conditions across NHS Trusts in England. The results will be used to identify best practice and key learnings to inform policy and planning.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following recorded information for your Trust. Where data is unavailable, please indicate that, and if only partial data is available, please provide what you can.

For your convenience, you can provide your answers in the tables below.

What % of neurology patients receive their MRI results within 14 days of the test from the most recent data available?
What % of neurology patients received a diagnosis within 6 weeks from the time the diagnostic test was sent from the most recent data available?
How many MRI scanners are there in your trust? For any of these scanners, please state the year of installation and the TESLA rating (1.5 TESLA, 3 TESLA, 7 TESLA). See table below

Notes
• If any of the questions is unclear, please not hesitate to get in touch
• If the Trust already publishes some or all of this information (e.g., in a disclosure log), a link or reference to the disclosure entry will suffice
• If the Trust does not hold this information in the requested level of detail, please provide any available version or summary, and indicate the level (e.g., Trust-wide totals of TESLA 1.5/3/7 scanners if you don’t have this detail per scanner)
• If some information is exempt under the Act, please specify the relevant exemption(s) and provide all non-exempt parts.

(20 October 2025)

I am writing under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request information relating to surgical delays caused by equipment or instrument availability within your Trust.

This request aims to understand how logistical and operational factors — rather than clinical causes — may contribute to surgery scheduling challenges across the NHS.

Please provide data for 2024, and any available for 2025 to date for the following:

1️⃣ Surgical delays
• The number of operations delayed or cancelled where the recorded cause included:
o Missing or incomplete surgical instrument sets
o Late arrival of loan sets or consignment trays from suppliers
o Equipment or instrument sterilisation or cleaning faults
o Missing documentation, instructions for use (IFUs), or traceability records
If your Trust does not record these categories specifically, please provide the nearest equivalent data (e.g. “equipment failure,” “instrument availability,” or “theatre preparation delays”).

2️⃣ Delay duration
• Where available, please provide the average or total delay time (e.g. hours or days) attributed to these causes.

3️⃣ Reporting system
• If available, please confirm which system(s) your Trust uses to record and categorise surgical delays (e.g. Datix, ORMIS, Bluespier, or another).

4️⃣ Internal reports
• If available, please share any summaries, reports, or audits produced since 2023 that discuss equipment-related surgical delays, loan set management, or theatre efficiency
If it is not possible to provide all of this data within the cost or time limits set by Section 12 of the Act, please provide as much of the information as possible and advise how I may refine my request to bring it within scope.
If certain data is unavailable or not centrally recorded, please confirm this and provide any partial or relevant information held.
