- Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld
The complainant has requested information from Business Services Organisation (BSO) relating to the Northern Ireland Electronic Care Record (NIECR). The BSO provided some of the requested information, however this was not provided in a timely manner within the statutory requirements of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, the BSO does not hold any further information in relation to the request and as such, the BSO has complied with its obligations under section 1(1) of FOIA. However, the Commissioner finds that the BSO breached section 10 of FOIA, as it provided information outside of the 20-working day timeframe. The Commissioner does not require the BSO to take any steps as a result of this decision.
