NHS London (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50448878 (13 November 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested that NHS London confirm the number of Serious Untoward Incidents (SUIs) of selected types which were recorded during the 2011 calendar year. In addition, he has asked NHS London to provide a description of each of the SUIs. NHS London disclosed the number of recorded incidents but considered that the descriptions were exempt information pursuant to section 41 (information provided in confidence), and in some cases section 40(2) (third party personal data), of FOIA. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the requested information can be released subject to redactions that would anonymise the information. He therefore requires NHS London to disclose the requested information with the following details redacted: times and dates, references to geographical place names, names of individuals, age of patients, and information described in Table 2 of the confidential annex. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 40 - Complaint Partly Upheld, FOI 41 - Complaint Upheld
