Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust

In relation to its gender identity service and adult patients, the complainant has asked Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) how long someone might wait for a first appointment and for treatment to start if they were referred on the date of their request. The Trust’s position is that it doesn’t hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Trust doesn’t hold the information requested in Q2 and Q3 of the complainant’s request and has complied with section 1(1) of FOIA. It’s not necessary for the Trust to take any corrective steps.
