Our Ref No: FOI 794 17 Dear Mr Round,
Reference – Freedom of Information Request
Thank you for your request for information. Your request was received by email
on 13th June 2017. Your request has been processed under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I have now had an opportunity to consider your request and I have set out my
response below and in the attached appendices.
Request.
Your query read
‘Please could you publish a list of GP surgery branches in
Northern Ireland? Please could you do this in the format ([Practice Number,
Practice Address, Branch number (if available)] in CSV format?’
Response. The Health and Social Care Board’s (HSCB) partner organisation, the Business
Services Organisation (BSO), maintains a full list of all GP Practices in Northern
Ireland, and I would direct you to the relevant section of their website where you
can find this information, at the following link:
http://www.hscbusiness.hscni.net/services/1816.htm
Branch surgeries of GP Practices in Northern Ireland are not reflected in the
data sets found at the above link, and I would therefore direct you to appendix 1
attached for information in regards to branch surgeries.
Please note that branch surgeries in Northern Ireland use the same Practice
Code as the main GP Practice they are part of, and you may therefore
reference the information in appendix 1 against the GP Practice list on the BSO
website to determine the main GP Practice in each instance.
Please also note that some GP Practices in Northern Ireland are considered
‘split’ Practices, where a Practice is ‘split’ across two or more locations but none
are considered as the main or branch surgery. For clarity’s purpose I have
included this information separately at appendix 2 for your information.
I trust you find this response helpful, however, if you are unhappy with my
response, please contact me and I will initiate an internal review into this matter.
Yours sincerely,
