University of Bristol

The complainant requested information about patient level data on medical care. The University of Bristol (the University) 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 University has correctly applied this exemption and does not require the University to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0142 allowed.
