Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the provision of augmentative and alternative communication devices by the NHS. Salford Primary Care Trust (Salford PCT) refused to comply with the request as it said it would exceed the cost limit under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) to do so. The Commissioner considers that section 12 of FOIA was applied correctly in this case. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
