Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust University

The complainant has requested the full PFI contract for Coventry Hospital between University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (“the Trust”) and the Coventry and Rugby Hospital Plc. The Trust provided all of the contract with the exception of four paragraphs in one of the Schedules which it considered exempt as they were commercially sensitive (section 43). The Commissioner accepts the section 43(2) exemption is engaged but considers the balance of the public interest favours disclosure in this case.
