NHS Commissioning Board

The complainant made a request to NHS England for information regarding a review into the deaths of people with mental health and learning difficulties at the Southern Health Trust as well as information on another review into the commissioning of services for people with learning difficulties and autism. NHS England failed to respond to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England breached section 10(1) of FOIA by failing to respond to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information to the complainant or else issue a refusal notice in accordance with section 17 of FOIA.
