- 23 Jan 2026
- Information Requested
I wish to make a Freedom of Information Request for the number of ambulance transfers from Caithness General Hospital KW1 5NS.
Plus other Caithness postcodes KW14, KW13, KW12, KW1, KW5, KW3, KW2, KW6 & KW7.
To Raigmore Hospital IV2 3UJ & New Craig's Psychiatric Hospital IV3 8NP. Between the 2nd of January till the 8th.
- Response
There were less than 5 transfers between Caithness hospital and the postcodes requested to Raigmore Hospital and New Craigs Psychiatric Hospital between the 02/01/2026 - 08/01/2026.
In line with standard statistical disclosure control practices, the Scottish Ambulance Service suppresses very small numbers (typically where the figure is fewer than five). This is done to reduce the risk that individuals could be identified from the information disclosed, particularly when combined with other data that may already be publicly available. This approach supports our obligations under data protection legislation and helps ensure that no personal data is inadvertently released through FOI responses.
