Guide to Information

NGH has a legal duty to adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The purpose of the Act is to promote greater openness by public authorities.

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust routinely publishes information about us, our spending, our priorities, our decisions, our policies and procedures, information in lists and registers, and about our services. We publish this information in accordance with the Model Publication Scheme and in line with the Definition Document for NHS Organisations. This Guide helps you to find that information and can be accessed using the links to the 7 classes of information as shown below and on the menu opposite.
