Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
21 August 2017, Health (NHS)
The complainant has requested information on operations carried out at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”). The Trust provided some information but refused to provide the names of consultants together with the number of operations performed and the locations of the operations on the basis of section 40(2). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has failed to demonstrate that section 40(2) is engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the names of the surgeons who have carried out non-emergency orthopaedic surgeries, together with numbers and locations as set out in the request.
