FOI Request
I hope you are well.
I’m a journalist at the BMJ. I’m writing an article about how effective the Growth Assessment Protocol GAP. is in terms of reducing stillbirth in the UK.
This is in the public interest: finding a protocol that works could save many babies’ lives.
Under the FOI Act may I request the following from your NHS trust:
· Annual stillbirth rates since 2010, finishing with the most recent data per 100,000 and in real numbers if possible; ie: 55 stillbirths in 2021.
· Annual perinatal mortality rates since 2010, finishing with the most recent data per 100,000 and in real numbers if possible; ie: 55 perinatal deaths in 2021.
· Does the trust use the GAP protocol?
Finally, please indicate in your response which of the categories below best describes the facilities at your trust: Level 3 NICU and neonatal surgery
Level 3 NICU
4,000 or more births
3,000 or more births Less than 2,000 births
Thank you for your help.
Yours faithfully,
Esther
