Publication Scheme
In order to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, public sector organisations such as Kettering General Hospital Foundation Trust (KGH) have to routinely publish information whenever possible.
The Information Commissioner, who is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 has drawn up what is called a Model Publication Scheme for all public sector organisations to formally adopt and commit to.
The Commissioner has also published a Definition Document for Health Bodies in England , which sets out in some detail what the minimum expectations are.
The table below details the information that we have made available with links to the relevant areas of the website where the specific items of information can be found.
Most of the information covered by the publication scheme is available on our website. Where specific documents are not available online, you can request them by contacting us directly:
