The complainant has requested full details of any meetings, including papers, presentations, minutes, actions and list of attendees relating to the West Essex PTS contract. The Trust provided the complainant with some of the requested information but withheld some information under section 36(2)(b)(ii) and section 43(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust correctly applied section 36(2)(b)(ii) and 43(2) FOIA to the withheld information. In relation to the information the Trust did disclose to the complainant, as it did not provide this information within the statutory time for compliance, it breached section 10 FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
