Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information regarding the appointment of “Insight” and “T-Pro” from the Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust was entitled to rely on Section 12(4) and Section 12(1) when refusing to respond to the requests. The Commissioner also finds that the Trust breached section 17 by failing to provide an appropriate refusal notice within 20 working days of the first request being made. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
