To ask the Scottish Government how many people have dystonia, broken down by NHS board area.
Answer
Information on the amount of people living with dystonia in each NHS board area is not held centrally by the Scottish Government or Public Health Scotland (PHS).
The Scottish Government has submitted a request through NHS Scotland’s Scottish Primary Care Information Request (SPIRE), which holds information from GP patient records, to better understand prevalence amongst neurological conditions including dystonia. We expect this data to be collected in 2022.

To ask the Scottish Government how many death certificates recorded aspergillus infection as the (a) primary and (b) secondary cause of death of patients at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, in each year since the hospital opened.
Answer
Ministers are not notified of every patient death by suspected hospital acquired infection, due to the possibility of patient identifiable information.
However, Ministers are routinely notified of incidents of hospital infection outbreaks (involving two or more patients) with management information regarding the organism of infection, number of patients involved in the outbreak, investigations and any suspected deaths associated with the outbreak.
