Request
I would like to request the following information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
I would like information regarding the number of patients who have died whilst on a waiting list for either treatment or tests.
As such, can I request the following, for the calendar years 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 (most recent data):
- The total number of patients who have been removed from an NHS waiting list because they have died, with a breakdown of how long they were on the waiting list.
I also understand that you have 20 working days to provide me with the information. Please could I request that this data is provided in Excel format, where appropriate, as is allowed by FOI rules.
