Disclosure log

This FOI disclosure log is a selective log of information provided by NHS London in response to requests for information each month since November 2008. We have taken the view that some requests and responses are not suitable for publication because they relate to third party data that may be copyrighted, or alternately documents that are voluminous and therefore difficult to download. Other requests may be substantially similar to those already published.
