ICO The complainant has requested information relating to companies that under-delivered on price reductions under the 2005/2008 Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS). The Department of Health (DoH) provided the complainant with some of the requested information but withheld much of the requested information under section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the DoH incorrectly applied section 43(2) FOIA to points 5 to 9 of the clarified request, except in relation to the information identified in paragraph 32. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information relevant to points 5 to 9 of the request, with the DoH bank account details redacted. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0162 has been disposed of by way of a consent order.
