The complainant made a freedom of information request to the GDC for details of cases considered by the GDC’s Practice Committee that had been given the “No Order” designation. The GDC disclosed some of the requested information to the complainant but withheld some information under the section 40(2) (personal information) and section 31 exemptions. The complainant also complained that the GDC held further information relevant to his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the GDC has disclosed all of the information to which the complainant is entitled under FOIA. Where information has been withheld the Commissioner is satisfied that the section 40(2) exemption was correctly applied. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
