Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

The complainant has requested information relating to the Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust (the trust) proposals to implement a Wholly Owned Subsidiary Company (WOSC) and transfer certain services to it. The trust disclosed some information but refused to disclose other information citing sections 36(2)(b) and (c) and 43 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the trust is entitled to withhold the remaining withheld information under section 36(2)(b)(ii) of the FOIA. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
