Welcome to Doctors Zoltowski, Kitchen, Shaw, Whitley and Bobet General Practitioner Publication Scheme. This is a guide to the General Practitioners Publication Scheme as required by the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
This Publication Scheme is a complete guide to the information routinely made available to the public by High Field Surgery. It is a description of the information about our Doctors and the Practice, which we make publicly available. It will be reviewed at regular intervals and we will monitor its effectiveness.
The publications are all free unless otherwise indicated within each Class. [Where information is provided at a cost the charges are as below].
The information within each Class is currently available via this website, in our information folder in reception and can be requested in hard copy from reception (There will be a small charge for photocopies of documents).
In addition to accessing the information identified in the Publication Scheme, you are entitled to request information about practice and the partners under the NHS Openness Code 1995.
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 recognises that members of the public have the right to know how public services are organised and run, how much they cost and how the decisions are made.
From January 1st 2005 General Practitioners have been obliged to respond to requests about information that they hold, that is recorded in any format. These rights are subject to some exemptions, which have to be taken into consideration before deciding what information can be released.
Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are also entitled to access your clinical records or any other personal information held about you and you can contact the practice secretary to do this.

All information at High Field Surgery is held, retained and destroyed in accordance with NHS guidelines.

Where individual Classes are subject to exemptions, the main reasons are for the protection of commercial interests and personal information under the Data Protection Act 1998.
