Dicconson Group Practice

The complainant has requested information about the health and social issues of people of mixed race, which Dicconson Group Practice (DGP) says it does not hold. The Commissioner’s decision is that DGP was correct to handle the request under the FOIA.  He has decided that, on the balance of probabilities, DGP does not hold the requested information.  The Commissioner finds that DGP breached section 10(1) of the FOIA, however, because it did not respond to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
