Request Summary: Cost of interventions for non-surgical cosmetic procedures
Request Category: Private Individuals
| Question Number 1: Under the FOI Act, I would like to request the following information regarding patients seeking treatment for physical complications from dermal filler and Botulinum toxin injections, such as nodule formation, discolouration, migration and herpetic outbreaks: The total number of patients that have been treated at all your hospitals for botched non-surgical procedures for quarter 2 of 2023-2024 | |
| Answer To Question 1: We are unable to search for how many patients have been affected by this because clinical codes for complications are not unique enough to identify individual conditions and symptoms, therefore we would not be able to say with certainty that complications came about as a result of previously botched procedures. We would therefore be unable to provide this information without extensive auditing of case notes. This would take us over the 18 hour threshold for the FOI request so we are unable to provide the information at this time. - Please find attached exemption notice. | |
| Question Number 2: The total cost of treating botched non-surgical procedures at all your hospitals for quarter 2 of 2023-2024. | |
| Answer To Question 2: Please see response to Q1 | |
| Question Number 3: The total number of patients that all of your hospitals have referred to private clinics to treat botched non-surgical procedures for quarter 2 of 2023-2024. | |
| Answer To Question 3: Please see response to Q1 | |
