Nursing and Midwifery Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50419504 (09 January 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested the disclosure of the date that a particular nurse-s registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (the -NMC-) lapsed. The NMC confirmed it held the relevant information but refused to comply with the request on the basis that the date constituted third party personal data (section 40(2)). The Commissioner has found that the NMC incorrectly applied section 40(2) to withhold the information requested. The Commissioner requires the NMC to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: confirm to the complainant when the named nurse-s NMC registration lapsed.
