*Note – The Trust does hold this information, however, to provide the data would require manual review of 26 clinics (with up to 12 patients in each clinic), and 26 skin SMDTs with 40 or more patients on each. We estimate this would take 5 minutes per case and approximately 113 hours in total. We are therefore withholding this information under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act.
