  • Decision(s) FOI 40: Not upheld

The complainant requested information about the qualifications of a named doctor.  The General Medical Council (GMC) withheld the information, citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the GMC has correctly applied this exemption and does not need to take any further action.
