How to request a publication

We have adopted the Information Commissioner’s model publication scheme. 

Alongside the publication scheme sits the Trust's Scheme of Delegation. This is based on the Information Commissioner’s definition document. It provides further detailed information on the documents available in each category of the Publication Scheme. 

Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are trying to ensure that as many documents as possible are available for download on this website. Where documents are currently not available on the website or you would like a hard copy, please write to the Corporate Governance Team.

What happens next?

Once we have received your request, we will acknowledge receipt.

• Under normal circumstances, we will then try to find and send you the information you require within 20 working days.
• It may be that we are unsure from your request what information you are looking for. If this happens, we will write to you and ask for more details.
• Most requests will be processed free of charge. Unusual, large or complex requests may mean we are unable to comply or we may decide to charge the full amount it would cost to provide the information. If this happens and you do not wish to pay for the request, we may decide not to continue with the request.
• Sometimes, some or all of the information requested cannot be provided. We will explain the reasons why not when this happens.
