NHS England

The complainant has requested the emails/documents which detail Deloitte’s calculation which come up with the figure of 6700 (relating to the 7 day NHS reforms). NHS England refused to provide some of the information requested under section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii),section 36(2)(c) FOIA. Some information was provided but redactions were made to it under section 40(2) FOIA. The complainant does not consider that NHS England located all information falling within the scope of the request and therefore considers further information is held. The complainant did not however dispute the redactions made under section 40(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England correctly applied section 36(2)(b)(ii) FOIA to the withheld information and that no further information is held under section 1(1)(a) FOIA other than that which has already been provided. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0144 dismissed.
