NHS Dumfries and Galloway was asked whether it held letters containing ‘threatening language’ from a named individual. NHS Dumfries and Galloway confirmed that correspondence was held.
During the investigation, NHS Dumfries and Galloway issued a further response.
The Commissioner investigated and found that NHS Dumfries and Galloway had failed to comply with FOISA in responding to the request. This was because the initial response did not confirm whether the correspondence was from the named individual. As a further response was issued during the investigation, the Commissioner did not require any further action to be taken.
