University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust

The complainant requested information about a record of complaints made by staff about a doctor. The University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust (the Trust) 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 Trust has correctly applied sections 1 and 40 and does not require the Trust to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2017/0009 dismissed.
