The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested from the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust”) a report by Dr David Taylor from 2005. The Trust refused to provide the information, citing the exemptions at sections 36, 31 and 38 but later withdrew its reliance on section 31. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 38 is not engaged in relation to this information. She finds that section 36 is engaged but that the public interest favours the release of the requested information. The Trust also failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and breached section 10(1). The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. • With reference to the highlighted copy provided by the Trust, release the requested report with the exception of the following lines containing personal data – The highlighted parts of the last three lines on page 9; The highlighted parts of the first 7 lines on page 10; The highlighted part of line 9 on page 10.
