Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
8 May 2017, Education (Other)
The complainant has requested the parts of his complaint file that can be released under FOIA. Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) relied on the exemptions section 40 (the information is personal data) and section 44 (prohibitions on disclosure) to withhold the information. In particular the PHSO cited the statutory prohibition on disclosure created by the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 (PCA).The Commissioner’s decision is that the PHSO has correctly applied section 44(1)(a) and the Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 44: Not upheld
