Wigan Borough Clinical Commissioning Group
25 April 2017, Health (Other)
In two requests the complainant has requested information from Wigan Borough Clinical Commissioning Group (‘the CCG’) about particular personal data held and shared, and about an allegation of racial abuse at a specific GP surgery. The CCG has refused to comply with the requests which it says are vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that: The two requests are vexatious and the CCG is not obliged to comply with them under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The CCG provided adequate advice and assistance and complied with its obligation under section 16(1). The CCG’s refusal of request 2 breached section 17(5). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
FOI 14: Not upheld
