The complainant has requested information on pay allowances granted to staff at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), broken down by directorate. The DHSC refused the request as to comply would exceed the cost limit under section 12(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC has correctly applied the provisions of section 12 to refuse the request and in providing advice and assistance to the complainant has also complied with section 16 of the FOIA.
