Covid-19 & Freedom of Information Requests

Please consider if your request for information is absolutely necessary to submit at this time. Any request that can be deferred or delayed will allow staff time to be focused on other areas.   

Whilst we will continue to make every effort to respond to requests for information in the normal way, at this time there may be delays due to urgent operational priorities for the entire NHS in dealing with the current pandemic.  

The Trust apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and will respond as soon as possible.

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 provides any person with the right to obtain information held by Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, subject to a number of exemptions.

Under the Act, we are required to maintain and offer a range of information routinely published by the Trust. Offering this information aims to make a large amount of information available at minimum inconvenience and cost to the public.

Who We are and What we do

Our policies and procedure

Lists and registers (available on request)
