The complainant has requested the name, contact details, qualifications, experience and publication record of the four GP expert witnesses who advised on his case. The PHSO has provided the complainant with some information but has refused to provide some of the requested information under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the PHSO was correct to apply section 40(2) FOIA to the withheld information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
