The complainant has requested information about a historical complaint concerning a urine sample collection device. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) disclosed some information and withheld other information that it said was exempt under section 40(2) (personal data) and section 44(1)(a) (prohibitions on disclosure) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MHRA has correctly applied section 40(2) and section 44(1)(a) to the request and he does not require it to take any further steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
