I am advised:
(a) The date ranges are financial years 2014-15, 2015-16 (first report); 2016-17 (second report), 2017-18 (third report).
(b) No.
(c) The answer to this question has been suppressed for patient confidentiality; provision of this figure would enable a reasonable guess to be made of the actual number of positive returns when compared to previous to Legislative Council Question on Notice 4296 (g) or Legislative Council Question on Notice 444 (a).
