The complainant requested information from Swansea Bay University Health Board (“the Health Board”) about waiting lists and Covid deaths. The Health Board provided some information within the scope of the request, but maintains that it does not hold some of the requested information for the purposes of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Health Board does hold the information requested in part 3 of the request for the purposes of FOIA; it was therefore not entitled to rely on section 3(2) of FOIA to refuse this part of the request and that the Health Board breached section 10(1) of FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the Health Board to disclose the information it holds within the scope of part 3 of the request, or issue a valid refusal notice with does not rely on section 3(2) of FOIA.
