Equality, diversity and inclusion
The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act 2000 publication scheme gives people the right to access information held by the Trust.
The Trust's Publication Scheme is divided into seven sections:
- A. Who we are and what we do
- B. What we spend and how we spend it
- C. What are our priorities and how are we doing
- D. How we make decisions
- E. Policy and procedure
- F. Lists and registers
- G. The services we offer
Where information is not available via this website, FOI requests can be made by emailing fhft.
When processing your request, we are reliant on subject matter experts to be able to provide information to your specific questions raised. However, for the foreseeable future our staff will be focused solely on supporting front line staff in any way that they can and will have very limited time for administrative duties.
We are sorry that this may cause a delay in you receiving a response to your request. We will strive to respond to as many requests as we can where we receive the relevant input required.
If you are requesting copies of your medical records please email fhft.
We are not required to make information routinely available when:
- We do not hold the information requested
- The information is exempt from disclosure under legislation (such as the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Data Protection Act (GDPR), e.g. personal data, confidential information or information that is commercially sensitive
- The Trust cannot easily access the information and it would take too much time to provide .
The Freedom of Information Act does not change the right of patients to protection of their patient confidentiality in accordance with Article 8 of the Human Rights Convention, the Data Protection Act (GDPR) and common law.
Maintaining the legal right to patient confidentiality continues to be an important commitment on our part.
To help with this, we have appointed someone who is called a Caldicott Guardian, and who has responsibility to ensure the protection of patient confidentiality throughout the Trust in accordance with your legal rights.
