South Central Ambulance NHS Trust

The complainant has requested information broadly relating to a previous contract. South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) responded to say that it held no information beyond what had already been provided. The Commissioner’s decision is that two of the six elements of the request were not valid for the purposes of FOIA. In respect of elements [4], [5] and [6], the Commissioner is satisfied that the information is reasonably accessible to the complainant. In respect of element [1], the Commissioner does not consider that the Trust has demonstrated that it has previously provided this information and therefore has, on the balance of probabilities, failed to comply with section 1(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner also finds that the Trust breached section 17 of FOIA in responding to the request. The Commissioner requires the Trust to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Either provide the complainant with the information in scope of element [1] or issue a refusal notice that complies with section 17 of FOIA.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 21: Complaint not upheld FOI 1: Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: 126738
