26 October 2015, Health (NHS)
The complainant has requested information from Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) on public health funerals carried out by the Trust since January 2014. The Trust provided information for some of the request but refused to provide the names, last known addresses, dates of birth and dates of death of individuals who had a public health funeral on the basis of section 41 of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied the provisions of section 41 to withhold all but the dates of death. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the dates of death of any individuals who received a public health funeral from the Trust since January 2014. The public authority 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 the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
FOI 41: Partly upheld
