Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 166-2122
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find our response below.
Similar requests were made to 2gether NHS Foundation Trust FOI 214SM-18. I understand that this Trust has since merged to form Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust. This is a request for updated statistical information to be released taking in the years 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21 running April to March for each year.. If data is held at both a hospital level and the same data is also centrally aggregated within the Trust, then I would only like access to the central dataset. Information included in such a datasets. might include, but may not be limited to:
• Number of hearings scheduled, which may include a breakdown by type of hearing e.g. divided by type of section section 2, 3 etc.., and/or type of hearing e.g. s.20 renewal, s.25 barring order..
• Number of discharges, perhaps broken down by type of section/ hearing.
• Number of times a hearing request was refused because of the proximity of a Mental Health Tribunal hearing 38.13 MHA 1983 Code of Practice, 2015.
• Number of hearings cancelled before the hearing took place, with reasons e.g. Responsible Clinician discharged patient, Tribunal discharged patient.
• Number of hearings held, perhaps broken down by type of section/ hearing e.g. paper hearing..
• Number of adjournments, perhaps broken down by type of section/ hearing.
• Attendees at the hearing. For example, the number of times a patient attended, or was accompanied by their legal represented, or their Nearest Relative. Please see details below.
