Richard Thomas, the Information Commissioner, condemned Hounslow Primary Care Trust’s “completely unacceptable” handling of a case in which a man asked for information about his father-in-law’s stay in a nursing home and death in a hospice.

Les Scarth, who made the information requests to Hounslow trust about the 1998 death of his father-in-law, Tom Wells, said the authority’s attitude was “diabolical”.

Mr Thomas said the trust failed to respond adequately to information requests, refused to give all relevant documents to Mr Scarth, and missed deadlines for responding to both Mr Scarth and the information commissioner’s office.
