- Decision(s) FOI 41(1): Upheld, FOI 43(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested copies of reports generated by a corporate services strategic value transformation review. Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (‘the ICB’) has disclosed the reports’ executive summaries but is withholding the full reports under sections 41 and 43 of FOIA. These exemptions concern information provided in confidence and commercial interests, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 41(1) isn’t engaged but that the ICB is entitled to rely on section 43(2) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. It’s not necessary for the ICB to take any corrective steps.
