Health and Care Professions Council

The complainant made a request for information relating to fitness to practise complaints about two named radiographers. HCPC refused to disclose the information requested in relation to one of the radiographers under section 40(2) FOIA and refused to confirm or deny whether the information is held regarding one of the radiographers under section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA. The Commissioner considers that HCPC was correct to refuse to disclose the information requested about one of the named radiographers under section 40(2) FOIA and was also correct to effuse to confirm or deny whether the requested information is held regarding one of the named radiographers under section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
