Department of Health (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50150310 (27 January 2010)
Summary: The complainant sought correspondence exchanged between the public authority and The Prince of Wales concerning the regulation of homeopathic or herbal medicines. The public authority refused to confirm or deny whether it held any information citing section 37(2) of the Act. The complainant also sought correspondence exchanged between the public authority and His Royal Highness-™ Foundation for Integrated Health, again concerning the regulation of homeopathic or herbal medicines. The public authority informed the complainant that it did not hold any such correspondence. The complainant disputed the basis upon which the public authority refused both of his requests. The Commissioner has concluded that the public authority was entitled to refuse to confirm or deny whether it held information falling within the scope of the first request and further is satisfied that the public authority does not hold any information falling within the scope of the complainant-™s second request.
