Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FER0422597 (04 April 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information provided by Flintshire County Council (-˜the Council-™) to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales (-˜the PSOW-™) in respect of a complaint of maladministration she made to the PSOW. The PSOW provided some information and withheld other information under 12(5)(d) of the EIR. It also stated that regulation 6(1)(b) applied as some of the information was publicly available and easily accessible. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation the PSOW withdrew its reliance on regulation 12(5)(d) but maintained that regulation 6(1)(b) was applicable to all of the remaining withheld information. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the remaining withheld information held is publicly available and easily accessible, and therefore regulation 6(1)(b) is engaged. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
