NHS Improvement

The complainant has requested information acquired during the course of an independent review. NHS Improvement disclosed some information but variously relied on section 36 (prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs), section 40 (third party personal data) and section 41 (actionable breach of confidence) of the FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that almost all of the material within the scope of the request is covered by either section 40(2) of the FOIA, section 41(1) of the FOIA, or both exemptions. However, for reasons explained below, the Commissioner would have made more substantive redactions than NHSI made. For reasons that are expanded upon below, the Commissioner does not require NHSI to take further steps in respect of this complaint. However, she has made comments in Other Matters which NHSI should have regard to when dealing with future, similar, complaints.

FOI 40: Complaint partly upheld FOI 41: Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: ic-104907
