Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested generic contracts of employment for foreign nationals employed as trainee clinical psychologists.  Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) had advised that it did not hold the requested information but identified and released some relevant information during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The Trust has now complied with section 1(1) of the FOIA and, on the balance of probabilities, holds no further information falling within scope of the complainant’s request. The Trust breached section 10(1) of the FOIA as it did not communicate to the complainant all the relevant information it holds within 20 working days of the request. The Commissioner does not require the Trust to take any remedial steps.
