Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

The complainant made a freedom of information request to Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (“the Trust”) for reports into events that led to the Employment Tribunal of a former employee of the Trust. The Trust refused to disclose some of the requested information under the exemptions in section 31(1)(g) (law enforcement), 40(2) (personal information), section 41 (information provided in confidence), section 42 (legal professional privilege). The Commissioner has found that the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) and she requires no steps to be taken.
