What is a publication scheme?
We are required by the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act to develop and maintain a Publication Scheme.
The scheme sets out classes of information that we routinely publish or intend to publish in future.
It indicates:
- where you can obtain the information from
- whether or not it will cost you anything to obtain it.
If you are considering making a request for information, you should first check the Publication Scheme to see if we have already made it available publicly.
To learn more about our Publication Scheme, please refer to the document Publication Scheme - Oct 06 (195 kb). This is available from Related Documents.

Documents and information that fall within our classes of information are subject to our corporate retention schedule.
