North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information about ‘group’ job roles. North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) provided the information it held within scope of the request. The complainant expressed dissatisfaction that the information provided from the Trust was inconsistent with other publicly available information. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Trust does not hold any further information within scope of the request. However, he also finds that there was a breach of sections 1(1) and 10(1) as the Trust failed to provide its response within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
