Request
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act. I would be grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this request and look forward to your full response within 20 working days, as stipulated by the act.
- As we are updating HSJ's database of trusts' leaders. Please could you provide us with leader's name for the below leadership roles.
- If you have a very similar role but not the exact job title, please include details of the very similar role and individual. If you don't have this role at all, please state N/A or “Don’t have the job title”.
- Also, please include the names and job titles of any of the board members that are not listed below.
Response
Having completed enquiries within CLCH, in respect of Sec1(1)(a) CLCH does hold information relating to your request, however, this information is published online. Therefore, for the purpose of section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), this part of our response serves as a formal notification of refusal of your request on the basis that exemption Section 21 of the FOIA applies.
Section 21 - Information Reasonably Accessible by Other Means
(1)Information which is reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise than under section 1 is exempt information.
(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)—
(a)information may be reasonably accessible to the applicant even though it is accessible only on payment, and
(b)information is to be taken to be reasonably accessible to the applicant if it is information which the public authority or any other person is obliged by or under any enactment to communicate (otherwise than by making the information available for inspection) to members of the public on request, whether free of charge or on payment.
Section 21 is an absolute exemption and where information falls within the scope of an absolute exemption, a public authority is not obliged to communicate it to an applicant and is also not obliged to comply with the duty to confirm or deny the existence of the information requested.
Having said that and in an effort to assist, please see the below link in relation to your FOI request.
