The complainant submitted a two part request for information to NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England) in relation to a framework agreement. By the date of this notice, NHS England had failed to provide a substantive response. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has, therefore, breached section 10 of FOIA. The Commissioner requires NHS England to take issue a substantive response, under FOIA, to the request. NHS England must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
