Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information relating to which ward a particular consultant transferred from before working on another specified ward. The Trust initially refused to confirm or deny whether the requested information was held under section 40(5) FOIA. Subsequently, during the Commissioner’s investigation it confirmed that it did not hold the requested information under section 1(1)(a) FOIA. The Commissioner considers that on the balance of probabilities, there is no recorded information held by the Trust under section 1(1)(a) FOIA falling within the scope of the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
