Health and Care Professions Council

The Commissioner’s decision is that under section 40(5B)(a)(i) of FOIA the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is entitled to neither confirm nor deny it holds the requested information about a named doctor. This is because confirmation or denial would disclose the doctor’s personal data, and this would be unlawful. It is not necessary for HCPC to take any corrective steps.
