General Medical Council

The complainant has requested information relating to 2012 GMC Quality Assurance of Basic Medical Education (QABME) Report and 2014 and 2015 Annual Returns for Warwick Medical School. The GMC refused to comply with the request under section 12 FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the GMC was correct to apply section 12 FOIA and that it was not therefore obliged to comply with the request. The Commissioner also considers that the GMC provided the complainant with appropriate advice and assistance in accordance with its obligations under section 16 FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
