Indigenous status in Hospital ED patients

I am requesting the following data in Indigenous patients and Non-Indigenous patients: column number 12 (number of attendances where the patient left after treatment commenced), column number 13 (percent of attendances where the patient left after treatment commenced), column number 14 (number of attendances where the patient did not wait for treatment) and column number 15 (percent of attendances where the patient did not wait for treatment) for all public hospitals in QLD in Indigenous and Non-Indigenous patients in each month from 1/1/2016 till now. This data will help to investigate the trend in Discharge Against Medical Advice (DAMA) incidents among Indigenous patients (compared with Non-Indigenous patients), especially the impact of this global pandemic. This will help to explore potential interventions targeting at Indigenous DAMA patients in EDs, especially interventions at the policy and community levels.
