Thank you for your email. Yes, please, it'd be great to still receive information from 2019 October onwards. It is all data reportable and those that you record.
It'd be, for example, emails sent to the wrong recipient. Fial to BCC and CC instead.. On Wed, 1 Sept 2021 at 10:51, Freedom of Information wrote:

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. In order to respond to your request our information teams are seeking the below clarification:
Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS FT was formed in October 2019 following the merge of two legacy organisations 2gether NHS FT and Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust.. Please can you therefore confirm that you still wish for us to pull data from October 2019 onwards?
Is it reportable breaches that you require the data from?
Would you be able to provide clarification around the information you are expecting the response to include for this question?
Kind Regards,
