The Commissioner’s decision is that SCC failed to disclose all the information it held within 20 working days, which is a breach of section 1 (General right of access) and section 10(1) (Time for compliance) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires SCC to disclose to the complainant the number of officers in the Adult Social Care Commissioning Service that have qualifications in “allied disciplines”.
