Some of this information is of a personal and confidential nature and will be excluded as will any other confidential material. Material relating to the health and safety of specific individuals, as to law enforcement or criminal or regulatory enforcement or audit issues may also be excluded from publication. There may be circumstances where material cannot be released because the appropriate officer designated for these purposes under the Act has taken the view that it may be prejudicial to the conduct of public affairs.

5. This Publication Scheme

In this class we will publish any changes we make to this Publication Scheme, the criteria on which our information management policies are made and a referral point for all enquiries regarding information management generally in the Dental Practice. We will also publish any proposed changes or additions to publications already available.

Under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (there is a link to the Act in Part Three below), each Dental Practice has a legal duty to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme for the publication of the information held. The purpose of the Act is to promote greater openness by public authorities which includes Dental Practitioners. From 2005 it will also oblige the Dental Practice to respond to requests about the information which it holds and is recorded in any form and it will create a right of access to that information. These rights are subject to some exemptions that the Dental Practice has to take into account before deciding what information can be released.

The Freedom of Information Act does not change the right of patients to protection of their patient confidentiality in accordance with Article 8 of the Human Rights Convention, the Data Protection Act and at common law. Maintaining the right to patient confidentiality continues to be an important commitment on our part.

This Publication Scheme aims to make as much information about Old Windsor Dental Practice available as possible, on a continuous basis. We will continue to add to the information here proactively and regularly.
