The complainant has requested information relating to death certification processes in Northern Ireland. The DHSSPS refused to disclose the information (“the withheld information”) and cited section 35(1)(a) of FOIA as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSSPS has correctly applied section 35(1)(a) to the withheld information. Therefore the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 35: Not upheld
