Freedom of Information Scheme
Part One:
Introduction
What
a Publication Scheme is
This
combined Publication Scheme is a guide to the information routinely
published by Priorslegh Medical Centre. It is a description of the
information about our General Practitioners and Practice that we make
publicly available. We aim to 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 easily find information about
Priorslegh Medical Centre.
Unless stated otherwise, the information is available free of charge. The
Scheme states how the information can be obtained.
Your
rights in relation to Freedom of Information, the Data
Protection Act and the NHS Openness Code
In
addition to accessing the information identified in this combined
Publication Scheme, you are entitled to request information about
Priorslegh Medical Centre under the NHS Openness Code 1995. A link to this
is available in Part 3. Hard copies are available free of charge from the
Department of Health.
Occasionally, some or all of the information cannot be provided and we
will explain the reasons why not when this happens; an example would be
when the information is of a sensitive, personal or confidential nature.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are also entitled to access your
clinical records or any other personal information held about you and you
can contact your doctor to do this.
Feedback
We
welcome suggestions about how the publications themselves might be
improved.
Any
questions, comments or suggestions about this Scheme should be sent in
writing to the Executive Manager at Priorslegh Medical Centre.
If you have
a complaint about
the
combined Publication Scheme
or its operation, or
how we have dealt with your request for information from the Scheme,
please write to the Executive Manager at Priorslegh Medical Centre.
If you feel that we have not dealt with your complaint adequately, you may
take the complaint further to the Information Commissioner. Details of how
to do this are available from the
