Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust
The complainant has requested information on children diagnosed with paediatric tumours within specific time periods. Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (“the Trust”) initially refused the request on the basis that the information was personal data under section 40(2) of the FOIA and later also sought to rely on the exemption at section 41 of the FOIA for information provided in confidence. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information does engage the section 41 exemption and there is no public interest defence for breaching the duty of confidence. As such the Trust has correctly withheld the information.FOI 41: Complaint not upheld
