Further to your recent Freedom of Information request regarding PCT contacts and GP systems.

NHS Sefton. The information provided relates to Knowsley PCT.
Request:

b) A list of which clinical systems are used by each of your GP practices i.e. which practices are
using TPP SystmOne, using EMIS or which are using INPS Vision etc.
See attached spread sheet. Note that we have identified Practices by organisation data service
code (ODS code) to avoid any ambiguity over Practice names.
Should you require any further information, clarification regarding this response or do not feel that
your request has been answered as you would expect, please contact us to discuss.
We also wish to take this opportunity to inform you that a formal complaints and internal review
process is available, which will be managed by a FOI Appeals Officer, Head of Corporate
Governance. This can be formally requested and must be done within a reasonable period of time
(3 calendar months) from the date this response was issued.
Where you are not satisfied with the response to a request for information that falls within the
Environmental Information Regulations you should make a representation for a review to the Head
of Corporate Governance, NHS Merseyside, within 40 days of receipt of the response.
If you are not satisfied with our review under the Freedom of Information Act or the Environmental
Information Regulations you may apply directly to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) for
a review of your appeal decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have
exhausted our complaints procedure. The ICO can be contacted at;
ICO, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF

Should you need any further clarification or assistance please do not hesitate to contact me

Yours sincerely
