Placements in Council care homes –
Mr Cannell requested from Glasgow City Council (the Council) the date on which an instruction had been given to social workers to make elderly care placements in its own care homes before using private or voluntary sector homes. The Council responded by indicating that it had no policy requiring such an arrangement and therefore did not therefore consider itself to hold such information. Following a review, Mr Cannell remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, although the Commissioner was not entirely satisfied with the Council’s handling of Mr Cannell’s request for information, he accepted that the Council had been correct to give Mr Cannell notice that it did not hold the requested information.
