GP and Dental Practices

The request was successful.

Dear Health and Social Care Information Centre,

This is a request for information made under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. Please provide a list (spreadsheet preferred) of GP and Dental practices in the following postcode areas:

ME; CT; TN; BN; RH; SS; DA; BR; CR; SE.

Please include columns for Practice name; address; Postcode;
telephone number, CCG (GPs only and email address (if available) .

I am aware that some of this this information is available on the NHS Choices website, but is not searchable by postcode and doesn't indicate the correlated CCG.

The same request was made to the Department of Health who referred me to NHS Choices and stated that the underlying data was held by HSCIC, thus this request.

Yours faithfully,

James Alden

Dear James Alden,

 

I am writing to acknowledge that your request for information was received
by The Health and Social Care Information Centre on 07/08/2013 and is
currently being considered. If The HSCIC is able to provide you with the
information you have requested, then under the Freedom of Information
(FOI) Act you are entitled to receive it promptly and in any event no
later than the 20th working day following the date of receipt. However,
we may need to contact you to clarify your request, if this is required we
aim to do this promptly but no later than 7 days after receiving your
initial request for information.

 

May I take this opportunity to explain the FOI Act in more detail. The Act
provides a 'General right of access to information held by public
authorities. However, it also defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent the release of some or all of the information you have requested.
Therefore, the HSCIC will assess your information request in light of any
relevant exemptions.

 

If exemptions do apply, then the HSCIC may decide not to release all, or
part, of the information you have requested. I shall inform you if this is
the case, and advise you of your rights of appeal.

 

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken as to whether to
release the information to you.

 

The response to your request will be sent to you by email, however if you
require your response in any other format, please contact me to discuss a
suitable format.

 

The HSCIC will not normally charge a fee to provide you with the
information you have requested, unless the cost of dealing with your
request is more than £450 as outlined in Section 12 of the FOI Act and
Section 3 of the The FOI and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees)
Regulations 2004. If it appears likely that your request will cost more,
then the HSCIC is able to refuse to supply the information.  As per our
obligations under Section 16 of the FOI Act, every effort will be made to
provide you with details of how you may be able to reframe your request in
order for us to complete the required work within the (£450 / 18 person
hours) cost limit.

 

If you have any queries or should you wish to make a compliant about the
manner in which your request is being processed then please do not
hesitate to contact me at the above address in the first instance. Any
complaints will be investigated in accordance with the HSCIC complaints
procedure.
