NHS England

The complainant has requested NHS England to disclose all the information it holds relating to the decision to exclude the eMBED Health Consortium and Optum from the Population Health Management IG Support Tool (PHMIGST) work programme. NHS England disclosed the requested information but redacted the personal data of several of its employees and external individuals in accordance with section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that NHS England is entitled to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA for some of the withheld information. She has however concluded that section 40(2) is not engaged for the remainder. The Commissioner has also concluded that NHS England breached section 10 of the FOIA in this case. She therefore requires NHS England to disclose the withheld information which is not exempt by virtue of section 40(2).

FOI 10: Complaint upheld FOI 40(2): Complaint partly upheld
