FOI/25/280

Request

I am making a Freedom of Information Request for both ICD10 Primary diagnosis discharge codes and cases, and OPCS4 primary procedure codes and cases, recorded for the hospitals/facilities in your Trust.  All information must be totally anonymised as per the NHS small cases policy <5.

I am aware that you are a community healthcare trust, however your trust does include inpatient wards.

I am requesting the data for the last five calendar years, i.e. 2018/2019/2020/2021/2022/2023.

The suggested data format is in columns:

1. Hospital name
2. Primary diagnosis ICD-10 4 or 5 digits (The ICD 10 data comprises the range A000 to Q999)
3. Number of cases
4. Years

The other data set deals with procedures/surgery if appropriate:

1. Hospital name
2. OPCS4 A000 – Z999: Primary procedure codes to 4 or more digits
3. Number of cases
4. Years

Response 

Given that CLCH is a Community provider and community providers do not utilise or record either ICD10 or OPCS4 coding we are unable to respond to this FOI as we do not hold the requested information.
