Freedom Of Information Act 2000

What is the Freedom Of Information Act 2000?

“The Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides public access to information held by public authorities. Public authorities are obliged to publish certain information about their activities, and members of the public are entitled to request information from public authorities”. Source: Information Commissioner’s Office

The Freedom Of Information requests which I have listed below are a handful of those which can be found using www.whatdotheyknow.com. They have not been ‘cherry picked’ to promote an ‘agenda’, and obviously all data provided has been sourced from Government departments.

If you have any others you would like to be added to this list please feel free to contact us.

Belfast Hospital Admissions Table

Note that there has been a decrease in the number of hospital admissions across the six hospitals from 2018 to 2020.

Notably a 18.26% FALL from 77,935 in 2019 to 63,705 in 2020.

2020 was allegedly ‘pandemic’ year with overflowing hospitals.

Ask yourself why?
