Lease Cars
Dear Oldham Primary Care Trust (PCT),
I am emailing to make an FOI request. Please provide the following information:
1) the name, grade and job title of any staff member who had a lease car funded wholly or in part by your organisation in 2009/10, 2010/11, or who currently has a lease car; please specify for each person in which of the three specified periods
2) for each person, I would like to know the make and model of the car
If you believe that this is personal data, and disclosure would breach the Data Protection Act, I would like to point out that I have requested information during the period where there has been a substantial public interest in the expenses paid to senior staff, and when cuts to NHS organisations had been announced. On this basis, I believe that disclosure of the fact that a person was in receipt of a lease car paid for from public funds would have had the reasonable expectation that a benefit such as a lease car would be made public. I believe that the disclosure of this information is necessary for a legitimate interest, and no unwarranted harm will be caused to the individuals concerned.
Even if you refuse to disclose the names, I would still like the list of cars and grades of the staff who received them.
If you need clarification of any part of this request, please contact me.
Yours faithfully,
Ding Jinhui
