NHS told to release data under FOI over heart unit

A JUDGE has ordered NHS bosses to hand over information about the controversial decision to shut Leeds children’s heart surgery unit.

A long-running bid by a Leeds councillor led to heads at NHS England being told they must produce documents about the plans, now overturned.

An Information Commisioner’s tribunal, sitting at Leeds Magistrates’ Court, ordered the release of details Coun John Illingworth had requested under the Freedom of Information Act by the end of the month.
