Summary: The complainant made a request to the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (the -˜Trust-™) for the full names and registration numbers of the nurses who were working on a specific ward during the hospitalisation of her mother up until she passed away. Owing to its context and history, the Trust refused to comply with the request on the grounds that it was vexatious for the purposes of section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner has investigated and, although conscious of the sensitivity attached to the history of the request, he has found that the Trust was entitled to rely on section 14(1) and has therefore not upheld the complaint.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld
