Strategic Objective
"To ensure that requests for Information, from customers or the Ombudsman, receive an appropriate response within the statutory or agreed timescales."
Overview
The Freedom of Information (or FOI Act) 1997 provides, that from 21st April 1998, every person has the right to:
- access official records held by government departments and certain other public bodies
- have personal information held on them corrected or updated where such information is incomplete, incorrect or misleading
- be given reasons for decisions taken by public bodies that affect them.
Under FOI persons can seek access to personal information held on them no matter when the information was created, and, in the case of local authorities, to records other than personal records created after 21st October 1998.
The Act was amended in certain respects in 2003.
