Freedom of information

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) 2000, the public has the right to see information held by public authorities, including NHS organisations.

How do I make a request for information?

To make a FOI request you can do so by either emailing the Trust at yhs-tr.foirequests@nhs.net or contact us in writing addressed to:

Freedom of Information

York Hospital

2nd Floor Administration Block

Wigginton Road

York

YO31 8HE

We aim to reply to requests within 20 working days.

The Trust strives to be open, however the right of access is not absolute and some requests may be refused, or refused in part.

Decisions will be made subject to the law, taking into account the public interest, and applicants have the right of appeal.

Trust publication scheme

The FOI Act requires every public authority to publish a Publication Scheme that tells people what information is routinely available to them, and how to get it. The Trust has adopted the Information Commissioner's Model Scheme for NHS Bodies in England.
