Transparency and Public Data

The Prime Minister, in his letter to his Cabinet colleagues, has made a number of commitments to greater data transparency in Government. This includes the commitment to the publication on data.gov.uk of specific timed documents including:

  • Departmental Spending data (from June 2010)
  • Salaries above £150,000 (from June 2010)
  • All new central government tender documents for contracts over £10,000 (from September 2010)

The NHS Information Centre is supporting the Government's commitments by ensuring that transparency data is available to the public.

This data will be published as a machine-readable data file (CSV format) and will be publicly available on our website.
