| Like all public bodies we are required to
publish information about our activities. Most of the information patients
require is available in our information booklet or on this website.
Information you may require or be interested in as a citizen is
available by following this link
http://www.foi.nhs.uk/practice?id=7335 The following is an extract
from this website outlining what is available
- In addition to accessing the information identified in the
Publication Scheme, you are entitled to request information about Dr
Ledger and Partners General Practice under the NHS Openness Code 1995.
- The Freedom of Information Act 2000 recognises that members of the
public have the right to know how public services are organised and run,
how much they cost and how the decisions are made.
- From January 1st 2005 it will oblige the General Practice to respond
to requests about information that it holds, and is recorded in any
format and it will create a right of access to that information. These
rights are subject to some exemptions which have to be taken into
consideration before deciding what information it can release.
- New environmental information regulations may be introduced as early
as 2003. These will enable similar access to environmental information
as under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
- Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are also entitled to access
your clinical records or any other personal information held about you.
