It should be acknowledged that public bodies, civil servants and public servants can make wrong decisions or decisions that are found to be erroneous by the Information Commissioner without this being blatant, deliberate or in bad faith. We have no evidence from the commissioner's report that the Eastern Health Board was acting in bad faith and we should not assume that.

Regardless of the wording used, from time to time mistakes will be made and that is why the commissioner is there. That is not an argument for not including "manifestly unreasonable".
