FOI Request Homeless Deaths

Request 101001506180

I would like to request the number of recorded deaths for homeless people in your local authority for the time period 01/01/2015 - 15/5/2017. This would include all who had an open homelessness application, accessed homeless services or was known to be a rough sleeper by your local authority.

I would like the information broken down by month and by age of the deceased.

Response 23-05-2017 

7 homeless applicants across the whole time period specified

Ages 25, 28, 37, 43, 54, 68 & 69.

We are unable to break down further due to low numbers as there is possibility the applicants can be recognised therefore this information is exempt under Section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act - Personal Information.
