The complainant has requested copies of official draft versions of the published Childhood Obesity Strategy held by the Department of Health. The Department of Health refused the request on the basis of section 35(1)(a) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Department of Health has correctly engaged the exemption but she considers the public interest in disclosure outweighs the public interest in maintaining the exemption. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the three official draft versions of the Childhood Obesity Strategy. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0001 allowed in part. Information Tribunal appeal GIA/1552/2019 dismissed. Information Tribunal appeal EA20180001 & EA20180002 PTA Refused
