In eight, multi-part requests submitted to the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) in November 2015 and on 15 December 2015 the complainant has requested information about aspects of its administration. The NMC has refused to comply with the requests which it says are vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the NMC has correctly applied section 14(1) to the requests and is not obliged to comply with them. He does not require the NMC to take any steps.
FOI 14: Not upheld
