The statistics presented are for April-May 2019 and April-May 2020. However, in response to question 5 it shows TWH covid positive admissions as 86 for April-May 2019 and 61 for April-May 2020! I assume that the 86 refers to April 2020 and the 61 to May 2020? Please clarify.

I note that Ward 22 was primarily for Stroke Rehabilitation in April and May 2019. Admissions were low and occupancy high so average time in the Ward was likely high.

1) Please set out what happened to Ward 22 from the beginning of January 2020 through to the end of March 2020, in terms of its primary focus.

2) What happened to the stroke rehabilitation patients when Ward 22 changed to dealing with general medical?

3) How did 10 extra beds fit into Ward 22?

4) Please provide a breakdown of the 328 admissions to Ward 22 in April-May 2020 as follows: A total figure for April and then a patient flow chart for each day in May, showing admissions and leavers (for whatever reason).

5) It is our understanding that Ward 22 was taking patients who had been tested for Covid and were awaiting results. If positive then they would be transferred to another ward/unit. So please could we have the number of admissions to Ward 22 during May 2020 that turned into positive Covid cases and whether or not they were transferred to other wards/units.

6] Ward 22 experienced 38 deaths in April-May 2020. Could we please have a breakdown of the numbers of deaths on a daily basis in May and an indication of the main causes of those deaths including Covid, if any. Could we also have an age profile of the deaths in May.

7) How many Covid-19 deaths occurred in TWH, by month, during the whole of 2020?

8) During May 2020 what were the % age staffing levels in TWH, broken down into ancillary staff, nursing staff, doctors, registrars, consultants? Same figures for May 2019 as well please.

9) Please provide any statistics that are available on staffing levels within Ward 22 for May 2020.
