Abercwmboi Medical Practice & Maendy Place Surgery

 

 

The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) 2000 provides members of the public with the right access information held by public authorities.  

 

Public authorities are required to routinely publish certain information to the public as part of its normal business activities. This is known as a publication scheme. 

 

The Abercwmboi Medical Practice/Maendy Place Surgery Publication Scheme is designed to signpost individuals to information we proactively release as and when it becomes available. The aim of this is to explain what information the practice makes available to the public and where possible to provide an easy method of accessing it.

 

The Publication Scheme contains seven classes of information, as follows:

 

     • Who we are and what we do

     • What we spend and how we spend it

     • What are our priorities and how we are doing

     • How we make decisions

     • Our policies and procedures

     • Register of members’ interests

     • Services we offer

 

All the information we proactively release is available free of charge on our website. Our publication scheme is a useful place to start if you’re looking for information about Abercwmboi and Maendy Surgeries before making a Freedom of Information request.

 

Information that is not published under the FOI Publication Scheme can be requested in writing and the release of such information will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the FOI Act 2000.
