Request
Could you tell me what the Asthma rates are in Shepshed in relation to the national average?
Could you let me know if this request will incur a cost.
Our Response
I refer to your email concerning Asthma rates in Shepshed.
I can confirm in accordance with S.1 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) that we do not hold the information that you have requested.
However, Section 16 of the FOIA places a duty on us to provide help and assistance where necessary. You should therefore consider contacting your local Primary Care Trust (PCT) which I understand is NHS Leicestershire County and Rutland, as they may hold this information. The following link will enable you to do this:-
