Department of Health and Social Care
The complainant requested information held by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) into delayed payments to suppliers the impact of the falling pound on NHS finances following the referendum on exiting the European Union. The DHSC confirmed it held a report on the analysis on the potential effects of the UK’s exit from the European Union and the rate of pound sterling on NHS finances but considered this exempt from disclosure by virtue of the exemptions at sections 43, 36, 27 and 29 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC has correctly applied sections 43(2), 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) to withhold the information.FOI 43: Complaint not upheld FOI 36: Complaint not upheld
