The complainant requested information about an individual employed by the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (the Trust). The Trust withheld the information, citing the exemption under section 40(2) of the FOIA (third party personal data) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Trust has correctly applied this exemption and does not require the Trust to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
