- Decision(s) FOI 12: Not upheld
The complainant made a request for information relating to hospital inspectors in the hospital directorate in the North East Region. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) refused to comply with the request under section 12 FOIA as it said that it would exceed the cost limit to do so. The Commissioner considers that the CQC was correct to refuse to comply with the request under section 12 FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
