Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) to disclose information relating to its Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response (EPRR) plans and arrangements. The Trust refused to confirm or deny holding the information but failed to specify under which exemption(s). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust is not entitled to refuse to confirm or deny holding the information and has therefore breached section 1 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Trust to confrm or deny whether it holds the requested information in accordance with section 1 of FOIA. If the Trust holds the information, it should either disclose that to the complainant or issue a refusal notice in accordance with section 17 of FOIA.
