UK Health Security Agency
The complainant has requested the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA, formerly known as Public Health England or PHE) to disclose the total amount spent on locum consultants in the microbiology department in Birmingham between April 2020 and the date of the request. They also asked for the most spent on one individual consultant during the same time period. UKHSA refused to disclose the requested information citing section 40(2) and 43 of FOIA. UKHSA later withdrew its application of section 40(2) but proceeded on the basis that the requested information was still exempt in accordance with section 43 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that UKHSA is entitled to refuse to disclose the requested information in accordance with section 43 of FOIA. He therefore does not require any further action to be taken.FOI 43: Complaint not upheld
