Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS
The complainant made a request for a copy of a draft report. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) initially refused the request as vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Trust later cited section 21 (available by other means) as the final report had been published. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has failed to supply any evidence to support any exemption to refuse to disclose the requested information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: to disclose the RCPCH's first draft report into the Gastroenterology Service. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
