Common use of Fairness and Transparency Clause in Contracts

Fairness and Transparency. The Code of Practice is a sign of commitment and a demonstration to the public about how information is used. When at all possible the patient will be informed at first contact of the purpose of collecting information and how it will be stored, used and shared. Consent to share should also be gained at the first suitable opportunity. The partnership organisations will: • Ensure service users permission is sought or that they are aware that information is being shared between LCC and ELHT. • Explain why they are using the patient’s/service user information, and will only use it for those purposes. • Explain who will see it and limit access to the patient’s/service user information only to persons who need it. • Collect minimum personal and sensitive information to meet the identified needs of the patient and not ask for information which is not relevant. • Record and share patient’s/service user needs with partner organisations as appropriate. • Keep information about the patients as accurate and up-to-date as possible – with the patient’s help. • Respect patient’s/service user rights under the Data Protection Act 1998 – including the patient’s/service user right to see the information which has been recorded about them. • Protect patient’s/service user information with the highest standards of security and confidentiality. • Tell patients how they can get more information, including: • How they safeguard their personal information; • How patients can check and correct any information they hold; • How to raise a query or a complaint. • Only keep the information for as long as needed or as required by statute. • There may be occasions when information is shared without consent. In these cases the Data Protection Act 1998 will apply.
