The complainant has requested information about the movement of units of blood. South Tyneside NHS Foundation Trust (‘the Trust’) has released some information and withheld some under section 40(2) of the FOIA as it considers this information to be the personal information of third persons. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is the personal data of third persons and the Trust is entitled to withhold it under section 40(2). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
