NHS Business Services Authority
The complainant made a request for the vaccine damage payment scheme medical assessor's GMC number, qualifications, and experience and a copy of the VDPS guidance the medical assessors follow. NHS Business Services Authority (NHS BSA) provided the VDPS guidance the medical assessors follow with some redactions which are not in dispute, it has confirmed it does not hold the medical assessor’s qualifications/experience and it has withheld the medical assessor’s GMC numbers under section 40(2) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that section 40(2) FOIA was applied correctly by NHS BSA in this case to withhold the medical assessor’s GMC number and that NHS BSA does not hold the medical assessor’s qualifications/experience under section 1(1)(a) FOIA. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.FOI 1: Complaint not upheld FOI 40: Complaint not upheld
