I am looking for data regarding case counts of Lyme disease in Wales for 2023. I saw that these data are not being reported for Wales by UKHSA starting for 2023, but I have been unable to locate the information through PHW.
Thank you for your recent request.
In 2023, 21 acute cases of Lyme Disease reported to Public Health Wales were confirmed by the Rare and Imported Pathogens Laboratory (RIPL, UKHSA Porton Down).
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of the decision, you should write to the Corporate Complaints Manager, Public Health Wales NHS Trust, 3, Number 2, Capital Quarter, Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF10 4BZ.
If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint or review, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the Trust. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
