NHS Commissioning Board

The complainant has requested copies of slides and presentations produced by Deloitte for meetings with NHS England. NHS England refused to provide the information on the basis of section 36(2)(b)(ii), 36(2)(c) and 43(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England has correctly applied the exemption from disclosure at section 36(2)(b)(ii) and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption and withholding the requested information. She requires no steps to be taken. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
