B and C

As detailed in previous Freedom of Information responses published to www.gov.je, Health and Community Services’ (HCS’) Radiology Information System records are not held in a format that allows reporting of scan statistics by body area. Whilst detail of the body areas scanned will be held in system records, identifying the data requested would require a manual analysis.  

A Scheduled Public Authority is not required to create new datasets nor manipulate existing datasets in order to respond to Freedom of Information requests. Furthermore, the time necessary to identify and extract the data requested from the records that are available would exceed the timescales prescribed in the Freedom of Information (Costs) (Jersey) Regulations 2014. Therefore, Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.
