Surrey County Council
- Date 15 August 2019
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 17: Upheld
The complainant has requested information about the “Responsible Person” as defined in section 2(1) The Local Authority Social Services and National Health Service Complaints (England) Regulations 2009. Surrey County Council disclosed some information and explained that it did not hold the remainder.
The Commissioner’s decision is that Surrey County Council was correct to state that it does not hold some of the requested information. The Commissioner therefore considers that it has not breached section 1 (right to information) of the FOIA.
However, the Commissioner does consider that Surrey County Council has breached sections 10 (Time for compliance) and 17 (Refusal of a request) of the FOIA.
The Commissioner does not require Surrey County Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
