Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested information about CCTV cameras at a particular hospital. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust’) provided some of the requested information but relied on section 31 of FOIA (law enforcement) to withhold information about the location of CCTV cameras. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust was entitled to rely on section 31 to withhold the CCTV camera location information. He also finds the Trust breached sections 1(1)(a), 10(1) and 17(1) of FOIA by failing to provide its response within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
