Dear Mr Bennett
Freedom of Information Request
Further to your request for information, which we received on 21 June 2011, I am writing to
confirm that NHS Northamptonshire has now completed its search for the information that you
requested.
You requested the following information:
Under the F.O.I act, could you kindly please provide me with the email addresses of all
Practice Managers within the PCT and the relevant GP surgeries they manage?
Practice manager email addresses are not published and are provided to the PCT for a
specific purpose and with the expectation that the information will be used only within the PCT.
This information has therefore been withheld under the exemption at Section 40(2) of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 since it meets the requirements of Section 40(3)(a), ie in our
opinion disclosure would breach the first and second data protection principles.
Postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers for all practice managers are publicly available
in the
Northamptonshire Medical List, available on our website. Since GP practices are
separate legal entities, you would need to contact each practice by one of these means and
ask if they are willing to supply you with an email contact address.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please remember to quote the
reference number above in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to
make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to Mike Wells, IM&T
Strategy Director, NHS Northamptonshire, Francis Crick House, Summerhouse Road,
Northampton NN3 6BF within two months of the date of this letter.
If you are not content with the outcome of our internal review process, you may apply directly
to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision
unless you have exhausted the internal appeals procedure provided by NHS
Northamptonshire. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
Yours sincerely
Carolyn Beech
Information Governance Specialist
