Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board

The complainant has requested copies of communications exchanged between the public authority and a named general practitioner’s surgery. The Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board (“BOB ICB”) refused the request, citing section 12 (cost limits) and section 40(2) (personal data) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that BOB ICB is not entitled to rely on section 12 to refuse the request. BOB ICB also breached section 16 of the FOIA.
