West London NHS Trust
The complainant has requested information about a review of an investigation. West London NHS Trust (‘the Trust’) has applied section 30(3) (investigations and proceedings), section 40(2) (personal data) and section 42 (legal professional privilege) to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: If the Trust holds any information within scope of the request it would be the complainant’s own personal data which would be exempt information under section 40(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner has therefore applied section 40(5A) of the FOIA herself proactively to prevent the disclosure of personal data that would result from confirming or denying that information was held. The Trust breached section 17(1) of the FOIA as its refusal notice was inadequate. The Commissioner does not require the Trust to take any remedial steps.FOI 17: Complaint upheld FOI 40: Complaint upheld
