Information Commissioner's Office

Brent CCG

9 February 2016, Health (NHS)

The complainant has requested copies of two contracts between Brent CCG (the CCG) and the relevant service providers. One contract is for the provision of ophthalmology services and the other for cardiology services. The CCG provided the bulk of the information from those contracts but withheld certain information under section 43 on the basis that it was commercially sensitive. The Commissioner’s decision is that only part of the withheld information is covered by the exemption provided by section 43. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information that does not engage section 43. This information is identified in the open annexe which accompanies this notice.
