- Decision(s) FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant has requested information about the cervical screening programme in relation to a specific laboratory. NHSE disclosed some information, confirmed it didn’t hold other information and withheld the remainder under section 40(2) and 41 of FOIA. These exemptions concern personal data and information provided in confidence, respectively. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information NHSE is withholding is personal data that can be withheld under section 40(2) of FOIA. It’s not necessary for NHSE to take any steps.
