Please find response below Q3

3. If possible, I would also like a breakdown of ethnicity, religion, age and gender for every patient who died while on your NHS waiting list for each of these years, please.

- If you don't hold all of this data or if providing it would exceed costs, please provide as much information as possible - starting from the most recent year and working backwards.

Please find below data broken down by ethnicity and gender.

We have not included age within our data set as this would increase the likelihood of patient being identified. For this reason, we have applied exemption under Section 40 of the FOI Act 2000 (personal information)  

We do not record data on religion.
