- Decision(s) FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant requested information in respect of Carmarthenshire residents who access Bryn Siriol Respite Service based in Aberystwyth. Carmarthenshire County Council (the Council) refused the request citing section 40(2) (personal data) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to refuse the request on the basis of section 40(2) FOIA. The Commissioner has however recorded a breach a section 17 of the FOIA due to the Council’s failure to issue a refusal notice within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this notice.
