Dr M Hackett (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FS50359977 (15 December 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested a number of pieces of information. This request was made to the Practice. However, for the purposes of the Act the individual doctors at the Practice are considered to be public authorities, and therefore this Notice is addressed to one of the individual doctors concerned. Although a limited amount of information was provided to the complainant, most was not. During the Commissioner-™s investigation most of the outstanding information was disclosed. However a limited amount remained outstanding. In particular, the public authority relied upon section 40(2) to withhold the names of Practice staff referred to in the Health and Safety Policy Document. After investigating the case the Commissioner believes that this information should be disclosed. The Commissioner has also found that the public authority should confirm or deny whether it holds certain information. In addition, the Commissioner believes that the public authority failed to meet the requirements of sections 1, 10 and 17.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 17 - Complaint Upheld
