RESPONSE
We are unable to provide information from 2016. However, data has been provided for other time periods requested.
To identify if an offence had taken place in a GP Practice or health centre, a keyword search has been conducted on the crime summaries using the following terms; ‘GP practice’, ‘GP surgery’ and ‘health centre’. The results from this search have then been looked through to identify offences which had taken place inside the premises, to the premises, or where the aggrieved are those working within the practice building at the time. This does not include offences which took place in the car park of each premises. This data is reliant on the terms mentioned above being spelt correctly and being included in the short crime summary of each offence. The data from this can be found in the tables below. The information is based off recorded date and is correct as of 15/03/2022.
