- Decision(s) FOI 40(2): Not upheld
The complainant requested information from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) relating to nurses who have been erased and suspended from the register between 1 January 2015 and 26 March 2025. The NMC refused to disclose the requested information on the basis that it is personal data of third parties and is therefore exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the NMC was entitled to rely on section 40(2) of FOIA to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the NMC to take any further steps as a result of this decision notice.
