Due to unforeseen circumstances, LCR resources are being consolidated to concentrate on existing initiatives. The decision has therefore been taken to temporarily suspend new access requests to the Leeds Care Record.

The temporary suspension has also been agreed with the organisational changes which are taking place within Leeds in mind. The Leeds Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is in the process of transitioning to the new NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) and the ICB will take over the CCG on the 1st July 2023.

This section of the website will be updated once new access requests are being accepted again.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
