Northern Health and Social Care Trust

The complainant requested a breakdown of non-emergency patient transfers ordered by the Northern Health and Social Services Trust (“the Trust”) from April 2016 to June 2017 inclusive. The complainant requested month-by-month figures of the number of transfers delivered, broken down by service provider. The complainant then requested a monthly breakdown by ambulance service provider of monies paid to private or voluntary ambulance services from 1 April 2016 to 31 June 2017 inclusive. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has breached section 10 of the FOIA by failing to provide a response within the statutory timeframe. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
