Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
The complainant requested information from the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) which it has not previously released about details of complaints that the PHSO had received about other government departments and public bodies in 2018/19. The Commissioner’s decision is that the PHSO failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the PHSO to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Issue a substantive response, under the FOIA, to the request. The PHSO must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.FOI 10: Complaint upheld
