Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Summary wording for website: The complainant requested the number of surgeons, whose main residence is outside the EU, used by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) to perform operations at the Horton General Hospital over the financial year 2016/17, and up to 5 October 2017. The Trust confirmed that it held the requested information, and that the number was “0”. The complainant considered that the information was wrong and that the number should be at least “1”. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has provided the complainant with the information that it held at the time of the request. However, she has recorded a breach of section 1 and section 10 of the FOIA, as the Trust failed to respond to the request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
