Freedom Of Information

Publication scheme

Under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 anyone can ask for information from us. Below is our Guide To Information.

The guide shows what sort of information we hold and where you can get it. EKHA has
adopted the Model Publication Scheme produced by the Scottish Information Commissioner. Information included in this publication scheme is available on their
website. For those without access to the website, or those wishing to make a request for information in paper form (or in a different format) please contact us at:

Information not listed in the publication scheme

If the information you are looking for is not included in the Guide To Information you can put in a request in writing to the above address or send us an email. Please be specific about the information that you are looking for as it helps us to identify what you require and answer your request more promptly. A request must include a full name (not a pseudonym) and an address (email or postal) to be valid.

How we deal with Freedom of Information Requests

You should get a response from EKHA within 20 working days. When you request info from us we will give it to you (or tell you why we are allowed to withhold it) as quickly as possible – and within 20 working days at the most.

Working days means Monday to Friday – weekends do not count, and neither do bank holidays. The first working day of your request is the day after the date on which EKHA receives it.

Recent Disclosures

To date, EKHA has received 26 requests for information. These were responded to either in full or partial release of information and included sign posting to information already published or, where applicable, advised we don’t hold information relating to their request. No fees were charged for any of the information provided.

No Environmental Information Requests have been received to date.

No reviews have been requested to date and no cases have been appealed with the Scottish Information Commissioner.

Who is the Scottish Information Commissioner?

The Scottish Information Commissioner is the independent public official responsible for promoting and enforcing Scotland’s freedom of information (FOI) law. FOI gives everyone the right to access information held by Scottish public authorities.
