Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50440555 (14 August 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council-s (the -council-) review of its approach to handling requests for information made to its Department of Adult Social Care (DASS). The complainant also asked for the names of staff involved in this review. The council confirmed that discussions regarding this matter were conducted exclusively verbally and it did not hold any recorded information. However, during the course of the Commissioner-s investigation, the council provided the complainant with the names of staff involved in the review. As this information had not been recorded but recalled from memory this disclosure was made outside the scope of the FOIA. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council has correctly confirmed that it does not hold the information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 1 - Complaint Not upheld
