Confidentiality of information

Jump to

We intend to publish extracts from the responses we receive in relation to this consultation paper.

Unless you tell us you do not want your views published, we will assume you are happy for us to do so.

If you want the information you provide (including any personal data) to be treated as confidential, please ensure that your response is marked clearly to this effect (an automatic disclaimer generated by your IT system will not, of itself, be regarded as binding). It would also be helpful if you could explain to us why.

Please note that PHSO is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Data Protection Act 1998. If we receive a request for disclosure of the information you have provided we will take full account of your request for confidentiality but we cannot give an assurance that confidentiality can be maintained in all circumstances.

We will also wish to keep your contact details in order to let you know the outcome of our consultation and of other related events and/or consultations. If you do not wish us to keep in contact with you, please let us know by making this clear in your response.
