The complainant has requested the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to disclose information relating to concerns he raised five years ago about a named individual. The DHSC refused to comply with the request citing section 12(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC is entitled to refuse to comply with the request in accordance with section 12(2) of the FOIA. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
