Department of Health and Social Care

The complainant requested information from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) relating to emails sent and received by Professor Sir Chris Whitty regarding herd immunity. The DHSC refused to comply with the request citing section 12(1) (cost limit) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC was entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 12(1) of the FOIA. He also finds that the DHSC met its obligations under section 16(1) of the FOIA to offer advice and assistance. The Commissioner does not require the DHSC to take any steps.
