Part Two: The Classes Of Information That We Hold

The Classes Of Information
The information is grouped into broad categories as follows:

1. About the Good Hope Hospital NHS Trust
2. Who we are
3. Financial and Funding Information
4. Corporate Information
5. Aims, Targets and Achievements
6. Our Services
7. Reports and Independent Enquiries
8. Policies and Procedures
9. Public Involvement and Consultation
10. Regular Publications and Information for the Public
11. Complaints
12. Human Resources
13. Communications with the Press and Media Releases
14. Environmental Information
15. This Publication Scheme

We will state how you can obtain the information outlined within each Class. This will be either via our website or as a hard copy or other media. The publications are all free unless otherwise indicated. [Where information is provided at a cost the charges will be calculated as set out in Class 15].

The Trust’s commitment to publish information excludes any information which can legitimately be withheld under the exemptions set out in the NHS Openness Code or the Freedom of Information Act. Where individual classes are subject to exemptions, the main reasons are e.g. the protection of commercial interests and personal information under the Data Protection Act 1998. This applies to most Classes within the Publication Scheme

The Publication Scheme will be available in both hard copy and on our web site at www.goodhope.org.uk
