Weardale Practice

The complainant has requested information relating to complaints about GPs. The Practice withheld the requested information under section 40(2) (personal information). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information engages section 40(2) as to disclose it would breach the data protection principles. However, in disclosing information outside of the statutory timeframe, the Practice breached section 10 (time limits for compliance) of FOIA. The Commissioner doesn’t require the Practice to take any steps.
