Department of Health
1 June 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested minutes and the name of attendees at a particular meeting between the then Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health (DoH) and the General Medical Council (GMC). The DoH stated no minutes were held but considered the names of attendees should be withheld on the basis of section 35(1)(d) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that although the section 35(1)(d) exemption is engaged the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the names of the attendees at the meeting.
FOI 35(1)(d): Upheld
