  • Date 11 June 2024
  • Sector Health
  • Decision(s) FOI 1(1): Upheld, FOI 10(1): Upheld, FOI 40(2): Not upheld

The Commissioner’s decision is that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold some of the requested information about a care home as it’s the personal data of a third party and disclosure would be unlawful. The CQC breached section 1(1) and 10(1) of FOIA as it didn’t disclose all the non-exempt information it holds within the statutory period. It’s not necessary for the CQC to take any corrective steps.
