By the date of this notice, the DHSC had not issued a substantive response to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC has failed complete its deliberations on the balance of the public interest within a reasonable time and has therefore breached section 17(3) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the DHSC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Having confirmed that information is held within the scope of the request, either disclose the requested information or, issue a refusal notice in accordance with the requirements of section 17 of the FOIA.FOI 17: Complaint upheld
