Our response:
The Trust does not have an Epilepsy Service. Patients would attend services within our Trust for other reason but could have epilepsy. Therefore we may document within a patients clinical history that they had epilepsy, but it is not recorded in a way that can be reported on. We do not use the ICD10 code or SNOMED codes mentioned. Please re-direct your request to Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at ghn-tr.foi@nhs.net.
