The complainants requested information relating to the care records of their deceased sister. East Sussex County Council (the Council) confirmed that it holds a relevant care file but refused to disclose it on the basis that it was provided in confidence – citing section 41 of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was correct to apply section 41(1). He requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0195 dismissed.
