Calderdale Primary Care Trust (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50317777 (03 March 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested information from Calderdale Primary Care Trust (the -˜PCT-™) concerning the date, place and time a named individual had received sex change surgery. The PCT responded in accordance with the provision of section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Commissioner considers that the PCT was excluded from its duty to respond to the request under section 1(1)(a) by virtue of the provisions of section 40(5)(b)(i). This is because, in responding to the request, it would inevitably disclose information which constitutes the personal data of the named individual in breach of the Data Protection Act 1998. The Commissioner does not require the PCT to take any steps in relation to the complainant-™s request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2011/0068 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Not upheld
