Observatory Medical Practice

The complainant requested information from Observatory Medical Practice (“the OMP”) relating to the OMP’s process when administering coronavirus vaccinations to its patients. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the OMP does hold information within the scope of the request. Consequently, the Commissioner finds that the OMP breached section 1(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the OMP to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. The OMP must conduct fresh searches into the requested information and provide a new response which is adequate for the purposes of the FOIA. The OMP must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of FOIA and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.

FOI 1(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 161052
