Department of Health and Social Care
The complainant requested information from the Department of Health and Social Care (“DHSC”) regarding alleged attempts to introduce measures under the emergency powers of the Coronavirus Bill, concerning abortions at home. The DHSC responded and refused to comply with the request as it did not consider it as a valid FOI request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was valid for the purposes of section 8 of the FOIA. However, as the DHSC has subsequently issued a fresh response, the Commissioner does not require the DHSC to take any steps as a result of this decision.FOI 8: Complaint upheld
