Under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust has a duty to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme.
The purpose of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is to promote greater openness by public authorities. The Act does not change the right of patients to protection of their confidentiality. Maintaining the legal right to patient confidentiality continues to be an important commitment on our part.
