NHS Devon Integrated Care Board

The complainant has requested copies of all communications with Bevan Brittan solicitors over a six month period. NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (‘the ICB’) relied on section 42 of FOIA (legal professional privilege) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICB has correctly relied on section 42 of FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
