NHS Nene Clinical Commissioning Group
The complainant has requested particular correspondence between a named individual and other parties. NHS Nene Clinical Commissioning Group (‘the CCG’) has confirmed it holds some of the requested information and that this is exempt information under section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs), with the public interest favouring maintaining the exemption. The complainant is not satisfied with the CCG’s reliance on section 36(2)(c) with regard to the relevant information it holds. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: At the time of the request, the CCG was correct to withhold the disputed information under section 36(2)(c) of the FOIA, and the public interest favoured maintaining this exemption. The CCG breached section 17(1) as it did not issue the complainant with a refusal notice within 20 working days of receiving his request. The Commissioner does not require the CCG to take any remedial steps.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 36: Complaint not upheld
