Belfast Health and Social Care Trust

The complainant has requested information from Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (“the Trust”) relating to a particular care home, Muckamore Abbey Hospital, where there had been a review into the care of vulnerable adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust failed to provide a valid response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. In not doing so, the Trust breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. As the information has now been provided, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
