NHS Commissioning Board (NHS England)
26 May 2015, Health (NHS)
The complainant has requested information relating to the number of hip replacements done by individual surgeons and the types of prostheses used. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England has correctly withheld the names of the surgeons linked to their performance data by virtue of section 40(2). The complainant also disputed whether all the information had been correctly identified and all the links to where this information could be found provided to him. The Commissioner is satisfied that NHS England did correctly apply section 21 and that no further information is held that falls within the scope of the request other than that withheld under section 40. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
