Request
I would like to know the costs of A&E and overall hospital admissions for people with neuromuscular conditions to the PCTs in the East Midlands SHA area. I have this information for PCTs in the West Midlands SHA area and would like a comparison. Thank you.
Our Response
I refer to your email of 15 October requesting information in respect of A&E hospital admission costs.
I can confirm in accordance with S.1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 that we do not hold the information that you have requested.
However, I would advise you that local Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) should be able to provide this information for you and the link to our website below, will enable you to make individual contact with PCTs.
