NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England)

The complainant has requested information associated with public information campaigns from NHS England (‘NHSE’).  NHSE released some information and has withheld the value of fees paid to particular celebrities under section 43(2) of the FOIA (commercial interests). The Commissioner’s decision is that NHSE is entitled to rely on section 43(2) to withhold the disputed information and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require NHSE to take any remedial steps.
