Freedom of Information

There are three regimes that enable individuals to access information that NHS Sheffield CCG holds.

• The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) gives individuals rights to have information about how public bodies function and make decisions.
• The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) provides access to environmental information.
• Under the Data Protection Act (DPA) 1998, individuals have a general right to request access to information about themselves and to be provided with a copy.

Requests for information

• Requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act need to be made in writing.
• Applicants should include their name and an address for correspondence, which includes an email address.
• While we cannot specify a format of application we have found that it is a more efficient way to process requests and supply information electronically.
• Requests should be as specific as possible to enable us to process your request.
• It can be useful to include a telephone number in case we need to contact you but this is not a requirement.

You can email your request to:
