We've used very similar requests made by others on the site to very
quickly start setting up GP commissioning consortia.  Here's our first
set:
<<http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/body/list/gpcc>>

Although the replies to the Practice Manager requests have been fairly
unstructured in how they've provided data, these types of requests are
useful for us, and will also be useful for others  There is no other
central source of information for these addresses, and if we were
looking to set up all the GP Practices on WDTK, we'd probably FOI all
the PCTs for the info too.  Now we can re-use the existing info that's
already published without having to bother the PCTs all over again.

Cheers
Alex
