Tees Esk & Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust

The Commissioner’s decision is that Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) is entitled to refuse parts of the request for information about ADHD referrals under section 12(1) of FOIA. The cost of complying with these parts would exceed the appropriate limit. There was no breach of section 16(1), which concerns advice and assistance, but the Trust breached section 1(1), 10(1) and 17(5) of FOIA in respect of the timeliness of its response. It’s not necessary for the Trust to take any corrective steps.
