- Date 23 May 2025
- Sector Health
- Decision(s) FOI 1(1)(b): Upheld, FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested, from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), a contract between BCUHB and Bangor University (BU), dating to 2012. BCUHB has disclosed some information, and withheld some information under section 40(2) of FOIA (‘personal information’). The Commissioner’s decision is that BCUHB is correct to rely on section 40(2) to withhold the redacted information; he also finds that BCUHB breached sections 1(1)(b) and 10(1) of FOIA (‘general right of access to information’ and ‘time for compliance’ respectively), because it disclosed information outside of the statutory timeframe. The Commissioner doesn’t require any steps.
