University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant requested information about an independent inquiry into the University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust’s (the Trust) histopathology services, carried out in 2010. The Trust cited section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (vexatious and repeated requests) and refused to comply with the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied section 14 of the FOIA and is not obliged to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require the Trust to take any further action.
