The complainant has requested information from the Nursing and Midwifery Council which, if held, would have included details of information relating to a complaint about a particular nurse. The NMC refused to confirm or deny whether or not the requested information was held under section 40(5) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the NMC was correct to neither confirm nor deny whether the requested information was held under section 40(5) of the FOIA. He therefore requires no steps to be taken.
