22 October 2008, Local government (Other)
The complainant made a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the “Act”) to the General Medical Council (the “GMC”) for “all correspondence between the GMC, [named doctor] and his employers”. The GMC confirmed or denied whether it held that information under section 1(1)(a) of the Act. After considering the case, the Commissioner finds that the GMC was not obliged to respond under section 1(1) (a) by virtue of the provisions of section 40(5)(b)(i). This is because in responding to the request it has disclosed information which constitutes the personal data of the named doctor. The Commissioner does not require the GMC to take any further steps in relation to the complainant’s request.
FOI 40: Not upheld
