Implications of COVID-19 Southern Health remains committed to meeting its obligations under Freedom of Information and Data Protection Laws and Regulations. However, the NHS is facing unprecedented challenges relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at the current time. Understandably, our resources have been diverted to support our front-line colleagues who are working tremendously hard to provide care for our patients, and to those in need of our services. We strive to be transparent and to work with an open culture. But at this time, whilst care of our patients and the safety of our staff takes precedent, it is likely that responses to some requests for information will be delayed. We apologise for this position in advance, and will endeavour to provide you with as much information as we can, as soon as we are able. The Information Commissioners Office has recognised the current situation in the NHS. How to make an FOI request How long will it take to get a response? What information is available under FOI?
