- Decision(s) FOI 17: Upheld, FOI 41: Not upheld
The complainant requested the disclosure of any information from Rampton Hospital – part of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (the “Trust”) – that related to his client’s deceased son. The Commissioner has found that the information cannot be disclosed as it would constitute an actionable breach in the duty of confidence owed to the deceased (section 41). The Commissioner has also found that the Trust had not complied with section 17 of the FOIA when refusing the original request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0053 dismissed.
