Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information about a product manufactured at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust’s (“the Trust”) Centre for Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics. The Trust provided information for request [3] and stated no information was held for request [6] but refused the remaining requests under section 43(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly engaged the exemption in relation to requests [4] and [5] and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption and withholding the information. In relation to requests [1], [2] and [7] the Commissioner has found the section 43(2) exemption is not engaged. The Commissioner requires the Trust to disclose the information requested at parts [1], [2] and [7].
