Department of Health and Social Care

The complainant has requested the 128 expressions of interest in the government’s New Hospitals programme. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) refused to comply with the request, citing section 14(1) of FOIA as it considers that it would impose a grossly oppressive burden to make required redactions under section 35(1)(a) and 43(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that DHSC has incorrectly relied upon section 14(1) to refuse the request. However redactions would be required under section 35(1)(a) and 43(2) FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the requested information subject to any redactions under section 35(1)(a) and 43(2) FOIA.

FOI 43: Complaint not upheld FOI 35: Complaint not upheld FOI 14: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 163288
