The astonishing thing about this information is that it shows how the PHSO has become much more unfair since Rob Behrens took charge. Before Behrens th...

You're request has revealed some interesting information.
Why was there five times fewer pre-action letters in 2017 compared to 201...
The number of payments halved from 28 in 2015 to 14 in 2016.
The average payment also fell, from £188 in 2015 to £135 in 2016.
In 2017 the number...

I may have misinterpreted this move though. If it is publishing the FOI information on the website as well as replying to WDTK then that is fine. The I...
I don't share your confidence that moving FOI requests away from WDTK and onto the PHSO website is a good thing. PHSO will then control all the data an...
The stats they have provided for 2017/18 are very different from the stats they provided last year which can be found here

Perhaps they are just time wasting. I don't think they ever find in favour of disclosing LPP information.
Thanks for the info J Roberts. It's interesting that the CEO and Ombudsman discussed measures "including not retaining information...and publishing mor...
I see. So actually the new system probably can be searched electronically but they've left all the old information on the old system which is inaccessi...
They are certainly clamping down on FOI requests. It's nice to know that the PHSO are such a public spirited organisation. I wonder how that sits with...
Thanks for the info J Roberts
I agree that section 7(2) of the PCA isn't relevant as it only applies to ongoing investigations. The ICO always seems...
I shouldn't think anyone will be surprised that the ICO has found in favour of the PHSO.

That's an exceptionally unhelpful reply from the Freedom of Information Manager. Obviously under strict orders from higher up. Hope you're wrong about...
It's the brutal disregard for the welfare of aggrieved complainants that gets me. It would be a simple matter to show a bit of consideration and respon...
Here's a link to the result of the FOI request you recommended M Boyce. Thanks for that. Very useful and much appreciated.

Thanks for the information J. Roberts.....I suppose! Useful to know.
The information seems irrelevant though, except for one mention of the quashing letter to PACAC, so how and why would the ICO pick up on it?
I've bee...
Bizarre! ICO case still continuing though.
I was being a bit ironic. I'm sure you know that the Upper Tribunal say there is a high hurdle for a public body to overcome to satisfy the claim that...
Yes, it is odd that the request has been labelled vexatious when, as you say, it obviously isn't. Maybe the internal review will correct this!
ICO have not received a response from PHSO yet. They will chase this up and let me know when they do
Thanks M Boyce. I've requested a copy of the PHSO's response and will let you know what response I get from the ICO
OK. Will do. Could you take them to the ICO for refusing your valid requests?
