General Medical Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50492818 (08 October 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about any investigations the GMC have carried out and subsequent action it may have taken against the named doctor. The GMC confirmed that the doctor had conditions placed on his registration by an Interim Orders Panel and had not been subject to any public Fitness to Practise Panel hearings. The GMC went on to refuse to provide further information regarding its investigation and the doctor-™s employment details citing the personal information exemption at section 40(2) by virtue of section 40(3)(a)(i) FOIA. The GMC subsequently disclosed information about the doctor-™s employment details to the complainant. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the GMC correctly withheld the outstanding requested information under section 40(2) by virtue of section 40(3)(a)(i) FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
