FOI 0607 Stolen Medical Equipment

Freedom of Information Request: 0607

Please provide a yearly breakdown for each question for the last three years (2016, 2017, 2018).

  1. What is the total cost of medical equipment that has been stolen in the last three years?
  2. What is the total cost of replacing medical equipment that has been stolen each year for the last three years?
  3. What is the most expensive piece of equipment that has been stolen each year for the last three years?
  4. How many operations have been cancelled as a result of medical equipment being stolen in the past three years?
  5. What is the total cost of these operations being cancelled as a result of stolen medical equipment?

We do not hold this information. Our systems record missing equipment as ‘not found’, and therefore we have no way to identify stolen equipment.
