Mr. Jim Lawless:

The response was as follows:

On call letters typed from April 2010 are stored on the hospital's hard drive system. However, the neurosurgical research and development unit does not have the resources to retrospectively review these letters.

Those letters are about patients who were referred for treatment to Beaumont Hospital but were denied treatment. I and others still cannot get an answer on what the outcome was for those patients. I, along with a lot of people, want to know the answers to the following questions. How many of those people died? What was the level of mortality? What was the level of morbidity? I specifically want to know the following. What are the figures for 2011, 2012 and 2013, inclusive? My question is legitimate and the information should be available.
