The complainant has requested information relating to an investigation into the source of the figure for excess deaths as the result of patients being admitted to hospitals at weekends used by the Secretary of Health (now Secretary for Health and Social Care) in a speech on 16 July 2015. NHS England refused the request under section 14(1) of the FOIA on the basis that it was vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England has correctly applied section 14(1) to refuse the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any action in this matter.
