Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust
In two requests, the complainant requested information associated with the price of a piece of equipment from Royal Brompton and Harefied hospitals, which is a subsidiary of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’).The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has not provided a response under FOIA to the first request and has therefore not complied with section 10(1). The Trust is entitled to withhold the information requested in the second request under section 43(2) of FOIA as it is commercially sensitive. The public interest favours maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner requires the Trust to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide a response to the first request, of 13 March 2022, that complies with FOIA.FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 43: Complaint not upheld
