am making a Freedom of Information Request for ICD10 first diagnosis discharge codes and cases per hospital in your health authority, and I hope you can help me with obtaining the following data. Any information must be totally anonymised; however I am requesting the name or the postcode of each hospital as it pertains to the data set.
The first set comprises diagnostic data. There are three columns:
PROCODE5: Primary diagnosis ICD-10 4 digit: Number of cases
The other data set deals with procedures/surgery. It has a similar structure:
PROCODE5: Primary procedure OPCS-4 digit: Number of cases
The ICD 10 data comprises the range A000 to Q999.
It would be good to obtain the data for the last five years, i.e. 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23.
Thank you for your recent request.
Public Health Wales do not have any hospitals as part of our Trust and therefore do not hold this information.
Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. Therefore, do not have access to this information. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and other NHS Wales organisations. This means we do not routinely have access to the data they produce. I have provided contact details for all the Health Boards below, you would need to contact them individually for any information they may hold.
