East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50478875 (30 April 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the proposed changes outlined in the 'Being the Best' consultation document. East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS) provided some information to the complainant but said that further information was not held under section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). It said that it would exceed the cost limit under section 12 FOIA to comply with one part of the request. The Commissioner-™s decision is that EMAS correctly stated that no further information was held relevant to the scope of the request other than the information requested at part 7 of the request. However the Commissioner does consider that it would exceed the cost limit under section 12 FOIA to comply with part 7 of the request. As the Commissioner considers that section 12 FOIA was correctly applied to part 7 of the request, the rest of the request could have been aggregated and therefore section 12 FOIA would apply to all of the request. The Commissioner does not consider that EMAS provided the complainant with sufficient advice and assistance in relation to part 7 of the request under section 16 FOIA.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld
