Summary: The complainant requested correspondence between the Chief Executives of North Lancashire Teaching Primary Care Trust (the PCT) and the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust (the Trust) concerning -˜service issues-™ at the Trust. He also requested a report produced by the PCT for the purposes of a Board meeting relating to the same issues. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the PCT was entitled to rely on section 31(1)(g) with section 31(2)(j) of the FOIA to withhold the correspondence between the Chief Executives of the PCT and the Trust and the information redacted from the Board report. He considers that the public interest in favour of maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in favour of disclosing the information. He also considers that the PCT was entitled to rely on section 14(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information it had previously disclosed to the requester. The Information Commissioner (the Commissioner) does not require the PCT to take any steps as a result of his decision.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 31 - Complaint Not upheld
