General Osteopathy Council
15 September 2014, Health (Other)
The complainant has requested the full transcript of a hearing into allegations of Unacceptable Professional Conduct against a named osteopath. The General Osteopathic Council released a redacted copy of the transcript. It said that the information that had been redacted is the personal data third of third persons. The Commissioner’s decision is that the General Osteopathic Council: breached section 17 of the FOIA as its initial refusal notice did not meet the requirements of the FOIA; but is correct to withhold the redacted information as it is the personal data of third persons and therefore exempt under section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require the General Osteopathy Council to take any further steps.
FOI 17: Upheld FOI 40: Not upheld
