Hywel Dda University Local Health Board

The complainant has made a series of requests seeking information about the names of certain staff, email address structures and internal review policies and procedures. Hwyel Dda University Health Board (‘HDUHB’) provided some information, advised that some information was not held, and that some of the requests were not valid under FOIA. It relied on section 21 of FOIA for information it had already provided in previous responses, and on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse the parts of the requests concerning email address structure. The Commissioner’s decision is that HDUHB was entitled to rely on section 14(1) of FOIA to refuse the requests. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
