Crown Prosecution Service

The complainant requested a copy of an audit report dated 2009 relating to forensic medical records. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) withheld the report in its entirety citing section 36(2)(c) (prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 36(2)(c) was engaged but that the public interest favours releasing the requested information. She also found a procedural breach. The Commissioner requires the CPS to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation - disclose the withheld report to the complainant.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 36: Complaint upheld
