Publication scheme

What is a publication scheme?

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI Act) requires public authorities to adopt and maintain a publication scheme, the purpose of which is to:

  • Specify the classes of information we have committed to publish;
  • Say how we will make that information available;
  • Say whether the information is available free of charge or on payment.

Most of the information covered by our publication scheme will be made available on this website. If you need information in an alternative format, we will do all we reasonably can to help.
Our publication scheme follows the Information Commissioner’s model publication scheme for public authorities.

If the information you require is not available here you can make a Freedom of Information request to obtain the information by writing to or emailing the Information Governance Service:

Email: NTCCG.FOI@nhs.net
Address: Information Governance Service, John Snow House, Durham University Science Park, Durham, County Durham DH1 3YG.

Historic disclosure logs showing past Freedom of Information responses by the former Clinical Commissioning Group are available at the CCG’s archived site, which is no longer maintained.
