NHS Information Centre (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50420295 (01 August 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested statistical information from the NHS IC relating to obesity surgery and drug use in expectant mothers. The NHS IC refused to disclose this information, citing section 21 of FOIA (information reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the NHS IC has incorrectly applied section 21 to the requested information as he has decided that the NHS IC does not hold the requested information. Therefore the Commissioner orders no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0175 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
