We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

Our response

I can confirm that the NHSBSA holds some of the information you have requested and a copy of the information is attached.

January 2023 to March 2023

I am writing to advise you that, following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA. We only hold data from April 2023.

April 2023 to January 2026

I can confirm a copy of the data is attached.

If you require the data for specific postcodes, please let us know which postcodes you need. The postcode data we hold is mapped differently to ward data, so we cannot confirm which postcodes apply to a ward.
