Re-use of public sector information
The Re-Use of Public Sector Information (RPSI) Regulations 2015 imposes an obligation on public sector bodies to make the information they produce, hold or disseminate as part of their public task available for re-use for commercial and non-commercial purposes unless restricted or excluded. Conditions of re-use, standard charges (if any), a list of main documents available for re-use, and means of redress must be made publically available.
The Trust supports these principles and is committed to making information that falls within the scope of RPSI available for re-use under the framework.
