18 March 2015, Local government (City council)
The complainant requested information relating to Stoke-on-Trent City Council’s (the Council) Framework Agreement for the provision of domiciliary care and carer support for younger adults and older people. The Council provided what it considered to be the extent of the information held. Some information was redacted under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the Act) as it was third party personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities the Council has not provided all of the relevant information it holds for item b) of the complainant’s request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a new response to item b) of the complainant’s request which complies with section 1(1) of the Act, or issue a valid refusal notice.
