Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board

The complainant has requested various email correspondence of five named individuals in respect of his late mother and his complaint to Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. The Health Board provided some information but refused other elements citing section 42(1) of the FOIA on the basis that it was protected by Legal Professional Privilege (LPP). The Commissioner’s decision is that Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has complied with its obligations under section 1(1). However, the information withheld under section 42(1) constitutes the personal information of the complainant and is therefore exempt under section 40(1).
