The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act was passed on 30 November 2000. It gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, with full access granted in January 2005. The Act sets out exemptions to that right and places certain obligations on public authorities.

All NHS organisations are required to produce a publication scheme. These will inform the public how and when they will make information available.

These pages detail the combined Publication Schemes of the General Practicitioners within The Oaklands Practice.

The combined Publication Scheme is in three parts, as follows:

Part One Introduction
Part Two Classes of Information
Part Three Useful Resources

Our Publication Scheme in full is also available to download (in PDF format) here.
