Summary: The complainant has requested information from the Northern Health and Social Care Trust (the Trust) relating to children in care/freed from adoption within a specified time period who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or similar conditions. The Trust disclosed some of the requested information to the complainant, however it withheld the remainder, citing the cost limit as set out in section 12(1) of FOIA and stating that it would preclude disclosure. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied section 12(1) of FOIA and he therefore orders no steps to be taken.
