NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care

The complainant has requested information on an independent review commissioned by the ICB into allegations about a GP practice. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICB has demonstrated that section 41 FOIA is engaged in relation to the withheld information and there is no public interest defence to a breach of confidence applicable. The information has therefore been correctly withheld. As the Commissioner has found that section 41 is engaged he has not gone on to consider the other exemptions cited and he requires no steps.
