The "About us" section on this site contains a wide range of information about NHS Choices policies, structure, governance and performance.
Before submitting a request under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, please check the "About us" section as the information you seek may already be published. If you make an FOI request for information that is already published, then you will simply be referred to the published source.
All FOI requests relating to NHS Choices are handled by NHS Digital, which publishes a Freedom of Information Disclosure log that holds copies of responses to previous FOI requests submitted to NHS Digital. There may be information held in the disclosure log relating to NHS Choices that you may wish to review before submitting an FOI request.
NHS Choices data and content resources
While information and data that is already published cannot be subject to an FOI request, you can download extracts of our latest datasets in a re-usable format – see "Data downloads" on the NHS Choices datasets page. If you require data not provided there, use our Contact form to request it. You can also request details of resources used in the development of specific pieces of content.
For longer-term strategic usage of NHS Choices published data, to be re-used in a specific context, we suggest that you consider using our syndication service, through which a great deal of content and data is already distributed.
