The complainant has requested information on the decision of Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (“the Trust”) to refer patient files to the Royal College of Surgeons and any instructions given to staff on the whereabouts of Mr Miller at this time. He also requested details of the procedure which was the subject of the Trust’s investigation. The Trust stated no information was held for the first two points of the request and withheld two letters related to the third part of the request on the basis of section 40(2) and 41 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly stated that no information is held and has applied section 40(2) correctly to withhold the two letters. He requires no steps to be taken.
