Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many women have been transferred from Dr Gray’s Hospital to (a) Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, (b) Raigmore Hospital and (c) elsewhere to give birth in each of the last five years.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not routinely hold information on the number of transfers between hospitals for women to give birth. However we have asked NHS Grampian to provide this information for Dr Gray’s and it has supplied the following. Data in some years has been merged due to low numbers and identifiable data.
Transfers from Dr Gray's for women to give birth in each of the following years.
