From your own computer at home you can source a broad variety of health care information, you can see which PCTs are overspending, and which stick to their budgets. You can also see their individual policies on the supply of different drugs and treatments, including those for cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Our website also offers you a guide to how to take action against the postcode lottery, and beat it. For the first time in the history of the NHS this information is now at your fingertips.

Please note that the data provided by Dr Foster relates to PCTs ahead of the restructuring that took place on the 1st October and as such is an indicator of historic performance. If your PCT has changed then we would strongly suggest that you contact them directly to verify their information.

If you are not happy with the treatment you're getting, we show you how to take action and how to call your local PCT to account.

We will arm you with information on the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence's national guidelines (NICE), the government's NHS Targets for waiting lists and providing treatment, plus the policies of the individual Primary Care Trusts.

With easy to use searches by map, postcode and health condition, this database can prevent you from becoming a loser in the NHS postcode lottery.
