The complainant has requested information in relation to histopathology services at North Bristol NHS Trust (now NHS Bristol) dating back to 2007. As the subject matter was deemed to be the same as a number of previous requests, the public authority refused this request using the exemption under section 14(1) of the FOIA. Having considered this request, alongside other requests made by the complainant the Commissioner has determined that NHS Bristol was correct to refuse the request on the basis that it was vexatious under section 14(1). This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
