We provide advice on the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Data Protection Act 1998 and other legislation involving rights of access to information.  Healthcare services regularly face decisions regarding disclosure of information of a political and commercially sensitive nature.  There is a tension which exists between political pressures regarding the transparency of a public body and the commercial decisions organisations make.  We provide practical advice on disclosure, confidentiality and privilege within this context.
