The complainant requested information from the NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England) relating to the issuing of DNACPR (do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation) notices for covid-19 patients with learning difficulties. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England failed to respond to the request for information within 20 working days and has therefore breached section 10 (time for compliance with the request) of the FOIA. The Commissioner is satisfied that NHS England has now provided a response to the request. Therefore the Commissioner does not require NHS England to take any further steps in relation to this request for information.
