University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50466499 (25 March 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested from the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (-UHMB-) detailed statistics about the number of maternal and infant/still born deaths in the past 10 years and details of the number of related civil cases against UHMB both settled and on-going. All requests concern the maternity services at Furness General Hospital (the -Hospital-). UHMB provided detailed information to the complainant. The complainant was satisfied with the response to the majority of his request but believed that further information was held relating to the total number of neonatal deaths of babies born at the Hospital. UHMB sought further clinical evaluation of the statistics previously provided and as a consequence of reviewing individual case files amended one set of figures previously provided. It confirmed that no further information was held. The Commissioner-s decision is that outstanding information is not held. He therefore does not require UHMB to take any steps to comply with the legislation. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
