- Information Requested
I would like to request the following information regarding ketamine-related ambulance incidents attended by the Trust. Please provide, for each calendar year from 2021 to 2025:
The total number of ambulance incidents, callouts or attendances where ketamine was recorded, referenced or suspected.
Any available breakdown by age group.
Any available breakdown by local authority area or county within the Trust’s coverage area.
- Response
The Scottish Ambulance Service does not hold the requested information. There is no specific field within the patient report form to identify incidents involving ketamine, and therefore no searchable dataset exists from which this information, or any age or geographic breakdown, could be extracted. It is for this reason we have applied section17(1) of the Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2002, as information is not held.
