Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant has requested all correspondence between the Spectrum 10K research project and Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust). The Trust applied section 12 FOIA as it said it would exceed the cost limit to comply with the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 12 FOIA was correctly applied to the request. The Trust however breached section 16 FOIA in the handling of this request. The Trust also breached section 10 FOIA in the handling of this request as it did not respond within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner requires the public authority to provide the complainant with advice and assistance as to how the request maybe refined or confirm that this would not be possible in accordance with its obligations under section 16 FOIA.
