Request
Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust does provide an orthotics service, which is contracted to a private provider. We do hold information regarding funding allocations and payments to the contractor; however, this information is considered commercially sensitive.
We are therefore applying the exemption under Section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Commercial Interests). Disclosure of this information would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of both the Trust and the provider, particularly in relation to future procurement processes and the provider’s competitive position.
In line with the public interest test, we recognise the importance of transparency and accountability, but on balance we consider that the potential harm to commercial interests outweighs the benefits of disclosure in this instance.
Prosthetics
Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust does not provide a prosthetics service. Therefore, this part of your request is not applicable as the information is not held.
