What happens to your emails

When we receive your email:

  • a record is logged in our system
  • your enquiry is given a unique reference number starting with "NIC", for example "NIC-10037-XY4PZ"
  • our agent will seek to provide an answer to your question - in 70% of cases the agent is able to resolve the enquiry themselves
  • the agent may need further information to help you - you may receive an email asking for additional information
  • if our agent can't answer your question, your enquiry will be sent to one of the specialist teams throughout NHS Digital, or you will be provided with direction to an alternative organisation or service that can help you
  • the enquiry is stored in our administration system, and is monitored by our agents until it's resolved

Enquiries that take a long time to resolve will be regularly reviewed by our contact centre agents. Overdue enquiries are reported to the NHS Digital's Executive Management Team.
