Department of Health and Social Care
The complainant requested information from the Department of Health and Social Care (“the DHSC”) about the number of people being tested for Covid-19. The DHSC relied on section 22 of the FOIA – information intended for future publication – to refuse the request. The Commissioner is not satisfied that the DHSC intended to publish the requested information. She therefore finds that section 22 is not engaged, and upholds the complaint. Since the complainant is satisfied that related information has subsequently been published, the Commissioner does not require the DHSC to take any steps.FOI 22: Complaint upheld
