- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about the number of judicial reviews. The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) says it is not obliged to comply with the request under section 12(1) of the FOIA, as it would exceed the appropriate cost and time limit to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the PHSO is not obliged to comply with the request under section 12(1) and is satisfied that the PHSO met its obligation under section 16 to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
