Classes of information

Publications are free unless otherwise indicated on the introduction and guide to the scheme page.

Some information may only be available as a black-and-white photocopy should the Trust have exhausted its original information set.

Our commitment to publish information excludes any information that can legitimately be withheld under the exemptions set out in the NHS Code of Practice on Openness or the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Where individual classes are subject to exemptions, the main reasons will be the protection of commercial interests and personal information under the Data Protection Act 1998. This applies to most classes within the publication scheme.
