Department of Health and Social Care
The complainant has requested information from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) concerning an agreement between the DHSC and Amazon Digital Services LLC (Amazon). The DHSC explained that it did not hold some of the requested information but it did provide a master content agreement between itself and Amazon that had been redacted. Some of the agreement was withheld under section 43(2) FOIA (commercial interests) and section 40(2) FOIA (personal information). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC was entitled to withhold most of the redacted information from the agreement and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. However, she does not agree that one part of the statement of work from the agreement has been correctly withheld as it does not engage the section 43(2) exemption. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Disclose the specified clause in the confidential annex.FOI 43(2): Complaint partly upheld
