University Hospital of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested a series of documents about the Derbyshire vascular services network. The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (“The Trust”) refused the request as vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has not demonstrated that the request was vexatious and was therefore not entitled to rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA to refuse the request. As the Trust failed to respond to the request within 20 working days, it also breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Trust to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response, to the request, which does not rely on section 14(1) of the FOIA.

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 14: Complaint upheld
