- Decision(s) FOI 30: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Health and Care Professions Council (“the HCPC”) relating to information about a complaint they submitted regarding a request for information about specific files held by the HCPC in relation to fitness to practise. The HCPC treated part of the request as a Subject Access Request (SAR) and refused to disclose the information they assessed under FOIA, citing sections 30(2)(a)(iii) and 40(2) as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the HCPC has correctly applied section 30(2)(a)(iii) to the requested information, therefore the Commissioner has not considered section 40(2) and requires no steps to be taken.
