A doctor asks
Freedom of information imposes an administrative burden on the public sector - but sometimes it's a tool which public bodies can exploit too.
I'm often intrigued by those cases where FOI has actually been used by one part of the public sector (other than the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ!) to find out about another part of the public sector. Take this striking case from yesterday's , about a Scottish GP who used FOI requests to compare how quickly his patients were receiving hospital treatment compared to those in other areas - and on the facts as reported he seems to have found a significant loophole in the Scottish Executive's waiting times promise.
