- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 10: Upheld, FOI 3: Not upheld
The complainant requested a complete copy of the Care Council for Wales (‘CCW’) terminology database in a reusable format. The CCW stated that it did not hold the information requested and it was not held on its behalf by third party. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the CCW obtained a PDF copy of the information and extracted the text into an editable text document. The CCW maintained its position that it did not hold the information requested in a reusable format. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CCW does not hold the information itself, nor is it held by Bangor University on behalf of the CCW in accordance with section 3(2)(b) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.

Crynodeb: Gofynnodd yr achwynydd am gopi cyflawn o gronfa ddata terminoleg Cyngor Gofal Cymru (‘y Cyngor Gofal’) mewn fformat a allai gael ei ailddefnyddio. Dywedodd y Cyngor Gofal nad oedd yn dal yr wybodaeth y gofynnwyd amdani ac nad oedd honno’n cael ei dal ar ei ran gan drydydd parti. Yn ystod ymchwiliad y Comisiynydd, sicrhaodd y Cyngor Gofal gopi PDF o’r wybodaeth a thynnu’r testun i mewn i ddogfen destun a allai gael ei golygu. Daliai’r Cyngor Gofal at ei safbwynt nad oedd yn dal yr wybodaeth y gofynnwyd amdani mewn fformat a allai gael ei ailddefnyddio. Penderfyniad y Comisiynydd yw nad yw’r wybodaeth yn cael ei dal gan y Cyngor Gofal ei hun, ac nad yw’n cael ei dal ychwaith gan Brifysgol Bangor ar ran y Cyngor Gofal yn unol ag adran 3(2)(b) o’r Ddeddf. Nid yw’r Comisiynydd yn gofyn i unrhyw gamau gael eu cymryd.
