NHS England

The complainant has requested NHSE to disclose a copy of one page of a 1939 Transcript Book. NHSE refused to comply with the request citing section 14 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHSE is not entitled to rely on section 14 of FOIA. He has also recorded a breach of section 10 of FOIA for failing to respond to the request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires NHSE to issue a fresh response to the complainant which does not rely on section 14 of FOIA.
