Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 came into force on January 1st 2005 and enables any person requesting information from a public body to receive that information, subject to certain exemptions. This is to encourage public authorities (such as GP Practices) to be more open and accountable and organise their information in an efficient and accessible way.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998, patients are entitled to access their clinical records or any other personal information held about them. Please contact reception to arrange this.
The Practice Publication Scheme Document is available to view; please contact reception for more information.
