Freedom of information

The Freedom of Information Act recognises that as a member of the public you have the right to know how public services such as the NHS are organised and run, how much they cost and how you can make complaints if you need to. You have the right to know which services are being provided, the targets that are being set, the standards of services that are expected and the results achieved.

From 1 January 2005, the Freedom of Information Act allowed anyone to request information held by University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

The Trust is obliged to respond to requests for information. The rights to request and access this information are subject to some exemptions which the Trust will apply in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act Code of Practice and guidance from the Information Commissioner's Office.
