The complainant has requested a copy of a Board Capability Review initiated by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”). The Trust refused to provide the information by virtue of the exemptions at section 36(2)(b)(ii),36(2)(c), 40(2) and 41 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied the section 36(2)(b)(ii) exemption and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exemption and withholding the requested information. She requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 36: Not upheld
