Response

Please see the attached sheet detailing the information in your request; the date range for the information is 01/01/2015 – 31/12/2024.  

 

We have split the information into three tables. The first details the number of incidents broken down by month and the second table details the number of incidents broken down by chief complaint and year and the third table details the total figures for each complaint. 

 

It is important to note that post code G33 2QX has been used to identify Barlinnie Prison; other incidents in that postcode may be included. 

 

For the given data, you will see that some of the figures are shown as less than five, please note that this figure has been suppressed because the statistical value is less than five. The Scottish Ambulance service has a duty, under the Data Protection Act to avoid directly or indirectly revealing any personal details. It is therefore widely understood that provision of statistics on small numbers, five or less are statistically suppressed upon disclosure.
