Department of Health and Social Care

The complainant has requested information from the Department of Health and Social Care (“DHSC”) about the reimbursement prices of bicalutamide 50mg tablets in the April 2018 drug tariff and details about the manufacturers and wholesalers that provided information.  The DHSC originally refused to provide the information by citing section 12 but, after a previous decision of the Commissioner’s ordered a fresh response, the DHSC withheld the information under section 41(1) (information provided in confidence) and section 43(2)(commercial interests). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DHSC has correctly withheld the information under section 41(1) and section 43(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the DHSC to take any steps.

FOI 43(2): Complaint not upheld FOI 41(1): Complaint not upheld
