If you cannot find the information you require on our website, you can either request it from us online or write to us at the address listed below.
Please note that whilst the Trust strives to be open and is normally able to satisfy requests in full, the right of access is not absolute and we may therefore have to refuse queries, either in full or in part, on the basis of the exemptions (for example, in cases where disclosure would breach patient confidentiality, or put people in danger). All such decisions will be made, and fully justified, in accordance with the law.
We are required under the Act to respond to valid queries no later than 20 working days following receipt. If, having fully considered your request, we reasonably require further information in order to respond, we will request this from you as soon as possible. In all such cases, the 20 working day clock shall begin only once we have received the necessary clarification. In line with section 1(3) of the Act, there shall be no duty for us to comply with your request until we receive this information from you.
