Which Scottish public authorities can you ask for information
Q. Who can I ask?
A. You can ask to see information from all Scottish public authorities or office-holders listed in the Act. It’s your right to receive information from authorities such as local government, the National Health Service, Universities and the police.
See a list of organisations that you can ask for information.
Q. Can I ask for information from a publicly owned company?
A. A public authority may set up one or more companies to manage activities on their behalf, for example, local development projects or commercial activities. If the company from which you require information is wholly owned by one or more public authorities, then you should approach the company rather than the authority for the information.
If the information you require is about a service provided by a private company through a contract with a public authority, you should ask the public authority concerned.
