Information Publication Scheme

Dorset HealthCare's Information Publication Scheme is the information that we routinely publish in order to fulfil our obligations set out in Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act (2000). The Trust has adopted the Information Commissioner’s model publication scheme and follows the definition document for Health Bodies in England.

This Publication Scheme commits the trust to make information available to the public as part of its normal business activities. The information covered is classed in the following seven categories:

• Who we are and what we do
• What we spend and how we spend it
• What our priorities are and how we are doing
• How we make decisions
• Our policies and procedures
• Lists and registers
• The services we offer

In addition to accessing the information identified in this Publication Scheme, you are entitled to request information about the Trust under the Freedom of Information Act (2000).
