Public Health England

The complainant has requested information relating to several job roles. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Public Health England (PHE) has failed to demonstrate on what grounds section 14(1) is engaged and therefore is not entitled to rely on the exception. The Commissioner requires PHE to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation:
Issue a fresh response to the request which does not rely upon section 14(1). The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
