- Information Requested
I wish to make a Freedom of Information Request for the number of ambulance transfers to Dunbar Hospital Minor Injury Unit Thurso Caithness KW14 7XE from postcodes KW14, KW13, KW12 & KW11.
In 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 with a breakdown of each month & year.
- Response
Please see the table below detailing the total number of incidents from the postcodes requested that were conveyed to Dunbar Hospital (Thurso) for each year requested.
The numbers involved are too small to be broken down by month, as further disaggregation would create a risk that individual incidents could become identifiable.
To mitigate this risk, statistical disclosure control has been applied and figures of fewer than five have been suppressed and presented as “<5”. This indicates that there was some activity (more than zero) during the period, but fewer than five incidents, and prevents identification of individual cases.
Incident Locations - KW11, KW12, KW13 and KW14
