Department of Health and Social Care

The complainant has requested agendas, minutes and related materials for meetings of a variety of Boards. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) disclosed some information with redactions in accordance with section 40(2) (third party personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that DHSC was entitled to rely on section 40(2) to redact personal information within the disclosed documents. However, the Commissioner finds that DHSC breached section 10(1) and section 17(1) of FOIA, as it failed to disclose the non-exempt information within the statutory 20 working days and to cite the correct exemptions respectively. The Commissioner does not require DHSC to take any further steps.

FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint not upheld
