Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
18 October 2017, Education
The complainant has requested information relating to the diary of Dame Julie Mellor, former Ombudsman of Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO). The Commissioner’s decision is that PHSO has breached section 10 of the FOIA by failing to respond to the request within the statutory timescale. The Commissioner also finds that PHSO has not complied with its obligations under section 1. PHSO should now review the information provided to the Commissioner and provide a fresh response to the complainant. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
