Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
25 October 2016, Health (NHS)
The complainant made a freedom of information request to the Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for copies of competency to practice declarations of staff who were authorised to carry out venesection procedures. The Trust refused the request under the section 40(2) exemption on the grounds that the information was personal data and disclosure would contravene the first data protection principle. The Commissioner has decided that the section 40(2) exemption was correctly applied and she requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 40: Not upheld
