I require the following information, preferably supplied in an editable spreadsheet format (such as .csv or .xlsx):

1. The official name of each GP practice.
2. The National NHS Practice Code (ODS code) for each practice.
3. The Primary Care Network (PCN) that each GP practice belongs to.

The generic, role-based, or public-facing contact email address for each GP practice (e.g., enquiries, practice manager, or administration email).

For Q1-3 please see the attached spreadsheet.

Contact details for the GP practices that hold primary medical contracts with NHS Greater Manchester can be found on the NHS Greater Manchester website via the following link https://gmintegratedcare.org.uk/find-a-service/ however, please note that not all practices use a generic email address.

NHS Greater Manchester does hold a list of GP and Practice Manager individual email addresses in the Greater Manchester area. However, this information is exempt from disclosure under section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as it constitutes personal data where disclosure would be in breach of the Data Protection Act 2018. In addition, GPs and Practice Managers have provided their email addresses (which includes their names, as personal data) to NHS Greater Manchester to provide direct communication channels between themselves for official business reasons. There is an expectation that these email addresses are not intended for release into the public domain or to provide a general contact list for public or business use.

As section 40 (2) is an absolute exemption there is no duty to consider disclosure in the public interest. This is set out in Part II of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Therefore, to assist you with your enquiry we have attached below a list of the GP practices along with their postal addresses and contact telephone numbers.
