Could you please tell me how many people have attended accident and emergency since 2012 due to dog bites.
1. Could you please breakdown the figures per year for 2012, 2013 and 2014.
2. Could you please also give me the figures to date (or as up to date as possible) for the number for 2015.
3. If possible could you please give the people’s ages and gender (if it not possible to provide both of these aspects for fear of identifying individuals I would prefer to know the ages rather than gender)
