  • Decision(s) FOI 22: Not upheld

The complainant has requested a copy of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) staff survey carried out in 2021. PHSO withheld the requested information under section 22(1) FOIA as it was intended for future publication. The Commissioner considers that PHSO were correct to apply 22(1) FOIA in this case at the time of the request. However the Commissioner also notes that the information which was withheld under section 22(1) FOIA has now been published. The Commissioner does not require PHSO to take any remedial steps.
