The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act was passed on 30 November
2000. It gives the general right of access to all types of recorded
information held by public authorities, including all types of NHS
organisations, with full rights of access granted in January 2005.
The Act sets out exemptions to that right and places certain
obligations on public authorities.
The purpose of the Act is to promote greater openness by public
authorities
Under section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the
Trust has a legal duty to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme
for the publication of Trust information.
What a publication scheme is?
This Publication Scheme is a complete guide to the information
routinely published by NHS City & Hackney . The information is
divided into different “classes” outlining information about our
organisation.
We shall review the scheme at regular intervals and monitor how
it is operating. It is important to us that this Scheme meets your
needs and we have designed it to be a route map so that you can
find information about the Trust easily.
