The information required is pertaining to the number of failed discharges

week period) from each of the four hospital.  May I please have a monthly
breakdown of these numbers from the period of July 2014 to July 2015, or

date (this is provided for in section 15A of the Act). We will advise you
if such an extension is necessary.

The Ministry's reference number for your request is: H201505207
