The Freedom of Information Act gives anyone a general right to request information held by public authorities such as the NHS. The aim of the Act is to create a climate of openness in public services and to inform people how public authorities make their operational decisions and how public money is spent. Much of this information, such as minutes of meetings, board papers and policies, financial transactions, is already published here on this website see our publications section for further details or use the search function at the top of this page.
If you cannot find the information you are seeking you can submit a request which must be sent either by email to nhsnwl.foi@nhs.net or in writing to Freedom of Information Manager, Communications & Engagement Team, 15 Marylebone Road, London NW1 5JD.
When you make your request, please try to be as specific as you can; for example, stating the time period that you want the information to cover.
We will respond to your request within 20 working days of receipt in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act.
