Practice Publication Scheme

	Welcome to the Dr Patrick Reade; Dr Malcolm McLean; Dr Karen Crawford Clarke; Dr John Derrett and Dr Cheryl Lambe General Practitioner Publication Scheme. This is a guide to the General Practitioners (who practice together) within the partnership practice 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 Dr Patrick Reade; Dr Malcolm McLean; Dr Karen Crawford Clarke; Dr John Derrett and Dr Cheryl Lambe General Practitioners. It is a description of the information about our General Practitioners and Practice which we make publicly available. It will be reviewed at regular intervals and we will monitor its effectiveness. How much does it cost? The publications are all free unless otherwise indicated within each Class (with £). Where information is provided at a cost the charges will be calculated as set out in Class 7. How is the information made available? The information within each Class is available in hard copy from: Practice Manager Henfield Medical Practice Deer Park Henfield West Sussex BN5 9JQ Telephone: 01273 492255 Some information may be downloadable from the practice website www.henfieldmedicalcentre.co.uk




	In addition to accessing the information identified in the Publication Scheme, you are entitled to request information about Henfield Medical Practice General Practice 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 it will oblige the General Practice to respond to requests about information that it holds, and is recorded in any format and it will create a right of access to that information. These rights are subject to some exemptions which have to be taken into consideration before deciding what information it can release. New environmental information regulations may be introduced as early as 2003. These will enable similar access to environmental information as under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Under the Data Protection Act 1998, you are also entitled to access your clinical records or any other personal information held about you.
