FOI 2025/1374

Questions:
1. Please can I request the number of CTs referred from primary care for SCITID 12295008 Bronchiectasis,

And,

2. If you have open access to CTs from primary care.

Clarity Requested 16 September 2025:
I write in response to your recent Freedom of Information request, which was received by NHS Greater Manchester today.

In order to be able to process your request and provide you with the correct information, I would be grateful if you could you provide the following clarity:

1. Please can you confirm that your request “Please can I request the number of CTs referred from primary care for SCITID 12295008 Bronchiectasis, and if you have open access to CTs from primary care.” by this you mean CT scans?

I am sorry we are unable to help you further at this time, and I look forward to receiving the necessary clarity to be able to action your request.

Clarity Received 16 September 2025:
I can confirm I mean CT scans yes.

1. NHS Greater Manchester (NHS GM) does not hold the information requested. Patients may be referred for a CT scan for a wide variety of reasons and our data collections in GM do not record the reason, only the type of CT scan carried out. NHS GM can provide the total number of CT scans that have taken place should you wish to receive this, however, we are not able to provide the data for specific conditions, such as Bronchiectasis.
