General Medical Council
10 January 2017, Local government (Other)
The complainant has requested a deceased individual’s medical records. The General Medical Council (GMC) says the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the FOIA as it is already reasonably accessible to the complainant through other means, namely the Access to Health Records Act 1990. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is exempt from disclosure under section 21(1) of the FOIA. She does not require the GMC to take any steps.
FOI 21: Not upheld
