Care Quality Commission

The complainant has requested a copy of a service level agreement and information about amendments to reports that the Care Quality Commission produced on behalf of the Isle of Man Department of Health and Social Care. The Care Quality Commission (‘the CQC’) relied on section 31 of FOIA (law enforcement) to withhold the draft reports. The Commissioner’s decision is that the CQC is entitled to rely on section 31(1)(g) to withhold the draft reports. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
