Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust

The complainant has requested the name and contact details of a specific member of staff. Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust (“the public authority”) refused to provide the requested information, citing section 40(2) (personal information) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that to disclose the requested information would be unlawful and so the public authority was correct to withhold it under section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require further steps.
