The complainant submitted a request to West London NHS Trust (the trust) for information relating to The Orchard and Three Bridges Units. The trust provided some of the requested information but relied on section 40(2) of FOIA (third party personal information) to withhold some information relating to patient and staff incidents.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the trust was correct to withhold parts of the requested information under section 40(2) of FOIA. However, the Commissioner finds that the trust breached sections 10(1) and 17(1) of FOIA regarding the timeliness of its response.
The Commissioner does not require further steps, as a result of this decision notice.
