The complainant has made a request for information relating to the closure of beds at Rothbury Community Hospital. Despite the Intervention of the Commissioner, the Department of Health and Social Care (the DHSC) has not provided a response to the request in accordance with the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC has failed to respond to the complainant’s request within 20 working days of receipt and has therefore breached section 10 of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the DHSC to provide the complainant with a full response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the FOIA.
