What is the Publication Scheme?

 

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has a legal duty to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme for the publication of Trust information.

 

For further information on our commitment to make certain information routinely available to you on our website, please refer to the Publication Scheme document by following the link below.

 

Publication Scheme (39 KB)

  • We shall review the information available under this scheme at regular intervals and monitor how it is operating.
  • 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 1998 and at common law.
  • Maintaining the legal right to patient confidentiality continues to be an important commitment on our part.
