Freedom of Information Publication Scheme

Executive summary

This guide explains what information NHS West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group makes (or
expects to make) routinely available, and where it can be accessed.

NHS West Essex CCG’s Publication Scheme is designed to signpost individuals to information we
proactively release as and when it becomes available.

An organisation will proactively release information about itself within seven broad classes of
information:

• Who we are and what we do
• What we spend and how we spend it
• What are our priorities and how we are doing
• How we make decisions
• Our policies and procedures
• Lists and registers
• Services we offer

NHS West Essex CCG has published information in these areas and will continually update this
publication scheme as we grow as an organisation.

At present, all the information we proactively release is available free of charge on our website. If in
the future, we make information available but do not publish it on our website we will update this
publication scheme to explain how you can access it. We will also explain any charges that may be
necessary.
