Help Me Investigate has compiled a list of Freedom of Information emails for the new bodies overseeing local health spending in England.
The list was compiled for Health Service Journal by Tom Warren and Matt Burgess, and is reproduced here with permission.
A table showing the emails is embedded below. Some CCGs are sharing an FOI address where they may be using the same support team to process them. Others have retained the old FOI email from the primary care trust (the organisations which oversaw spending before clinical commissioning was introduced).
A spreadsheet containing the email addresses, along with details on each CCG’s website, code, and FOI page, is also available here.
Tom and Matt are the editors of Help Me Investigate Health and Help Me Investigate Education respectively. Matt is also the publisher of the FOI Directory, where this list is also available.
If you use this information, please let us know – especially if any have been changed since publication.

I spent a good few hours compiling this list for myself, only to discover your website near the end! Logging on to every CCG website….! Never mind.
Anyway, my list is here:

There have been a few changes since you did your list, do please double check any differences and update accordingly. Do let me know if any of mine are incorrect too.
Kind regards,
Dr Neil Bhatia

Wonderful – thanks for that.
