Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant made a freedom of information request to Addenbrooke's Hospital, part of the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) for information about car park income. The Trust provided some information but withheld the ground rental income for 2 car parks under the section 43(2) (commercial interests) exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has incorrectly applied Section 43(2) of the FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the ground rental income for the 2 car parks from 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017.
