Response

Section 40 – Personal Information (where figure on stats is 5 or below)

Under section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, a public authority does not have to provide information where that information is considered personal information under the Data Protection Act 2018. We believe that, because of the low number of patients involved and the potential for them to be identified when combined with other available information, the information you have requested falls into this category, and therefore will not be supplying this as a result. The actual figure has been replaced with <5.

Number of reported incidents submitted on the Trust’s incident reporting system were:
 

Physical Assaults 2024/25

Physical assault to staff by member of public <5

Physical assault to staff by patient 22

Physical assault to staff by patient's relative <5
