NHS Commissioning Board

The complainant has requested information about correspondence between Sir Bruce Keogh and Deloitte.

The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England) has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA because it has not provided the complainant with a response to his request within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide the complainant with a response to his request of 26 December 2015. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
