NHS England

The complainant has requested copies of central risk assessments for flooding and heatwaves in hospitals. NHS England (‘NHSE’) stated that it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, NHSE does not hold the requested information. The Commissioner also finds that the NHSE breached regulation 11 of the EIR as it failed to carry out its internal review within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
