The complainant made a freedom of information request to Health Education England (HEE) for information related to a letter sent by HEE’s Chief Executive regarding changes to junior doctors’ contracts. HEE disclosed some information falling within the scope of the request but also withheld some information under the section 36 exemption. The Commissioner’s decision is that HEE has correctly applied section 36 to the withheld information and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 36: Not upheld
