Department of Health and Social Care
The complainant requested information about personal protective equipment categorised as not fit for use. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) disclosed some relevant information, advised that it doesn’t hold other information, and relied on sections 21, 23, 31, 41 and 43 of FOIA to withhold the remaining information in scope of the request. These exemptions concern information already accessible to the applicant, information supplied by, or relating to, bodies dealing with security matters, law enforcement, information provided in confidence and commercial interests, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that DHSC doesn’t hold the updated table of information that the complainant is seeking and its response to that part of the request complied with section 1(1)(a) of FOIA. The information DHSC is withholding is exempt from disclosure under section 23(1) of FOIA. It’s not necessary for DHSC to take any steps.
