ICO The complainant has requested a breakdown of the total expenditure of the Department of Health associated with the report, ‘The Higher Risk General Surgical Patient. Toward improved care for a forgotten group’. The DoH disclosed some information to the complainant, but withheld the remainder under the exemption for the personal information of third parties (section 40(2)). The Commissioner’s decision is that DoH correctly relied upon section 40(2) to withhold the outstanding withheld information. Therefore the Commissioner does not require the DoH to take any steps.
