Freedom of Information Enquiries (RR7) Gateshead Health,

Dear Mr Cell

 

Our reference: FoI 2016-17.569

 

Thank you for your request for information of 3^rd February 2017, as
copied below. Your request has been considered under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). 

 

Your request:

 

Please provide me with an up to date Organisational Structure chart for
all I.T middle management including all manager NAMES, contact details and
job titles.

 

Our response:

 

Organisational structures for the Trust can be found on the website at
[1]http://www.qegateshead.nhs.uk/structures. 

 

Names and contact details of staff members at the Trust have been withheld
under section 40(2) of the FOIA, as this information constitutes personal
data of the post holders.  Personal data is exempt from disclosure under
section 40(2) of the FOIA, if their release would breach any of the data
protection principles in the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA).  

 

It is the Trust’s policy to only disclose details of the most senior
members of staff (Heads of Service and above) under the FOIA which comes
from the guidance produced by the Information Commissioner’s Office at
[2]https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio...

 

Therefore, disclosure of the requested details would be contrary to the
reasonable expectations of the staff members. Consequently, release of
that information would breach the fair processing principle in the DPA.

 

We hope that you will find this response helpful. If you have any queries
about this email please contact us quoting the reference number above.

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you have the
