The complainant has requested information on spend on Personal Health Budgets and savings associated with a cut to these budgets. Norwich Clinical Commissioning Group (‘the CCG’) has withheld the information under section 43(1) of the FOIA (trade secrets) and 43(2) (prejudice to commercial interests). The Commissioner’s decision is that: The requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 43(2) and the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
