- Decision(s) FOI 41: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information on notification of deaths and serious incidents in care facilities provided to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC provided some information but withheld the date it received these notification on the basis of section 41 and 40. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CQC has correctly applied the provisions of section 41 to withhold the remaining information and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. She requires no steps to be taken by the CQC.
