The Freedom of Information Act 2000 is designed to increase transparency; providing members of the public the opportunity to access any recorded information held by public authorities, such as the Practice (subject to certain exemptions).
It does this in two ways:
- public authorities must publish certain information about their activities; and
- members of the public are entitled to request information from public authorities.
It does not cover personal information.
Requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act must be made in writing, for example, in a letter or an email, providing your name and either a postal or email address. The Practice has 20 working days to respond to your request.
In accordance with FOI, the Practice has produced a FOI Publication Scheme
