Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council

The complainant has requested information relating to the sexual health testing service provided by Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (the council). The Council initially advised that the information was not held. Following the Commissioner’s intervention the Council then stated that it would exceed the cost limits to comply with the request in its entirety, and that it was therefore relying on section 12(1) of FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that the Council is entitled to rely on section 12(1) as its basis for refusing the request. Furthermore, as the Council has proactively provided some information to the complainant, the Commissioner considers that it has met its obligations under section 16(1) to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.

FOI 12(1): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 157812
