The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) recognizes both the public's right to access public records and the individual's right to dignity and privacy. It is the EOHHS policy to facilitate public access to all public records that may be disclosed in accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-1 et seq. It is also the policy of the EOHHS to ensure all public records under its jurisdiction be available for public inspection and reproduction consistent with all applicable state and/or federal law, unless otherwise prohibited by a court of competent jurisdiction.
