Freedom of Information requests

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives anyone the right to request access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, such as NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB).

The purpose of the Act is to promote greater openness and to help inform people of how public authorities make their operational decisions, and how public money is used.

Before you request information from the ICB

Before making a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please check whether the information you seek is already available. We publish information on this website, and you may find the answer to your question is already here.

Our publication scheme explains what information we routinely publish. You can also find previously published Freedom of Information Requests in our Publications Library.

If you request information from the ICB that is already published, we will refer you to the published source.

How to request information

All requests for information must be made in writing, clearly stating your name and address and what information you would like.

We will acknowledge your request within three working days and you can expect to receive a response within 20 working days.

If you are requesting your own personal data, you should make a Subject Access Request under Data Protection legislation.
