General Medical Council
Summary wording for website: The complainant made three requests for information regarding the professional qualifications of individuals who investigate and respond to complaints made to the GMC about doctors. The GMC refused to confirm or deny whether it holds information under section 40(5B)(a)(i) FOIA in relation to one request. It applied section 12 FOIA as it considers it would exceed the cost limit to comply with one request. In relation to one request it said that this request was not a valid request for recorded information under section 8 FOIA. The Commissioner considers that the GMC was correct to apply section 40(5B)(a)(i) and section 12 FOIA in this case. It was also correct that some of the requests was not valid under section 8 FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.FOI 40: Complaint not upheld FOI 8: Complaint not upheld FOI 12: Complaint not upheld
