Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)With respect to provision of healthcare services for asylum seekers/refugees at a named accommodation site.

Annual information for 2020 to 2024 on: 1/ the total cost of providing on-site primary care to residents of this facility; 2/ the number of patients treated; 3/ the names of the doctors, part of the NHS and/or private company providing the health service
It is the Commissioner’s view that the public interest in the costs associated with accommodation for asylum seekers is outweighed by the Home Office’s responsibility to ensure that vulnerable asylum seekers are protected from any threat to their health or safety.

Therefore, the Commissioner finds that the Home Office was entitled to rely on section 38(2) of FOIA to Not Confirm and Not Deny (NCND) whether it holds the requested information.
