Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information from Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) on public health funerals carried out by the Trust since January 2014. The Trust provided information for some of the request but refused to provide the names, last known addresses, dates of birth and dates of death of individuals who had a public health funeral on the basis of section 41 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied the provisions of section 41 to withhold all but the dates of death. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the dates of death of any individuals who received a public health funeral from the Trust since January 2014.
