National Treatment Purchase Fund

All treatment carried out under the NTPF is free

The Freedom of Information Act, 1997, which was applied to the National Treatment Purchase Fund from 31 May 2006, provides that every person has the following legal rights:

the right to access official records held by public bodies prescribed under the Act;
the right to have personal information held on them corrected or updated where such information is incomplete, incorrect or misleading; and
the right to be given reasons for decisions taken by public bodies that affect them.

The Act asserts the right of members of the public to obtain access to official information to the greatest extent possible, consistent with the public interest and the right to privacy of individuals.
