General Medical Council

The complainant has requested the names of personnel involved in dealing with a complaint made to the GMC. The GMC neither confirmed nor denied holding the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that confirmation or denial would disclose third party personal data and that disclosure of this personal data would be in breach of the first data protection principle. His decision is therefore that the GMC correctly refused the request for information under section 40(5)(b)(i) of the FOIA.
