Department of Health (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FS50508342 (30 January 2014)
Summary: The complainant requested correspondence between East Midlands Strategic Health Authority (-the SHA-) and United Lincolnshire NHS Trust (-the Trust-) and the Department of Health (-DoH-) and NHS Executive Authority. The SHA was disbanded on 1 April 2013 and was unable to answer the request so responsibility for responding passed to the DoH as the body with legal responsibility for areas where functions had not been transferred to another body in the new system. The DoH stated the complying with the request would exceed the cost limit as set out in section 12 of the FOIA. The Commissioner-s decision is that the DoH has correctly refused the request on the basis of section 12 as to comply would exceed the cost limit.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld
