FOIwiki:Current events
Well, more future than current really. Events that are likely to require updates to FOIwiki and WhatDoTheyKnow and other FOI related news.
Ongoing
Government Spending Review - abolition of quangos

NHS community services divestment
- Main article: NHS community services divestment
Primary care trusts are being required by DH to divest themselves of their in-house community services. In most cases, this is either to existing or newly formed National Health Service trusts or NHS foundation trusts. In "over 60" cases, though, services look like being provided by a "Social Enterprise", which appears to mean a Community Interest Company. The current proposal is to make them subject to the FOI Act.
