  • Decision(s) FOI 41: Not upheld, FOI 43: Not upheld

The complainant has requested from the Department of Health (DoH) anonymised information relating to the 2009 Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (2009 PPRS). The DoH provided the complainant with information it considered fulfilled the requests, although it noted that the information which could not be anonymised was exempt under sections 41 (information provided in confidence) and 43 (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DoH has taken appropriate steps to disclose an anonymised version of the requested information. He does not therefore require the DoH to take any steps as a result of this notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0045 dismissed.
