A Bill to amend the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to apply its provisions to private healthcare companies and other bodies seeking health service contracts; and for connected purposes.
This Bill would extend the Freedom of Information Act 2000 so it applies to private health providers and other bodies seeking NHS health-service contracts. It would require those organisations to disclose information to the public in response to FOI requests, increasing transparency around how health services are delivered and funded by private partners.
The bill is currently at the Second Reading in the House of Commons, meaning it is in the early stages and has not yet progressed to Committee stage or a vote.
