Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust

The complainant made a request for information regarding Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust’s (the Trust) work on the SARI Supporting Trans People guidance. The Trust initially withheld some information under section 40(2) FOIA (third party personal data). However it subsequently confirmed that the Trust did not hold this information under section 1(1)(a) FOIA and directed the complainant to the public authority that would hold the required information. The Commissioner considers that the Trust was correct to confirm that it does not hold the information it had originally withheld under section 40(2) FOIA in accordance with section 1(1)(a) FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
